@scottyhq I have added sf to environment.yml but it seems like the server still cannot find it when I run library(sf) in either a jupyter notebook or Rstudio

https://github.com/DSSG-eiCompare/jhub-rstudio/blob/1a02f36b6fc6948b4905b8cc2a588be4e44d77c2/binder/environment.yml#L39-L41

Looks like a recent PR removed eiCompare from environment.yml. This is probably to enable us to install other versions. However, now I'm having trouble using devtools::load_all() within my local repo because eiCompare's dependencies are not installed.

> devtools::load_all()
Loading eiCompare
Error: Dependency package(s) 'wru' not available.

Will try a PR to add all of the dependencies.

Per #2, we need to add sf (for geospatial analysis in R) to the environment. Pull request made

Hi @lorenc5, @matt-barreto, @woodsp,

Currently we have these default r-packages installed for https://dssg.hackweek.io
https://github.com/DSSG-eiCompare/jhub-rstudio/blob/4b6bad6b60ef5b32c1e26539baeebab95d50796b/binder/environment.yml#L1-L8

This allows installing eiCompare with install_github("lorenc5/eiCompare"), which in turn downloads 34 packages:

Installing 34 packages: eiPack, tmvtnorm, foreach, ei, RCurl, RJSONIO, sjmisc, wru, data.table, ucminf, R.utils, mvtnorm, msm, mnormt, cubature, ellipse, plotrix, mcmcse, survival, expm, sandwich, zoo, coda, gmm, codetools, iterators, BH, insight, R.methodsS3, sp, bitops, sjlabelled, R.oo, RcppArmadillo

If any of these are available as r packages via conda, we can pre-install them to avoid waiting for the install to complete. Also note that currently, you'll have to re-install anything that is not under your home directory /home/jovyan if you close you browser and come back a few hours later.

Please reply here with other packages you suggest pre-loading.

Currently the sf package on the server enables working with sf objects, when printing these objects to console I receive the following error:

ERROR while rich displaying an object: Error in loadNamespace(name): there is no package called ‘geojsonio’

It still prints the sf, but less neatly than I am used to. Will try to add geojsonio to environment.yml and submit new PR on the sf branch to fix
