opencgaR is an R library that interacts with OpenCGA REST API to execute any operation supported by the web services through R code.
The client offers programmatic access to the implemented REST web services, facilitating the access and analysis of data stored in OpenCGA. From version 2.0.0 data is returned in a new RestResponse object which contains metadata and the results. The client also implements some handy methods to return information from this object.
An operating machine with R installed and functional. opencgaR requires at least R version 3.4 (although most of the code is fully compatible with earlier versions).
Have the pre-build R package stored in your local machine. Alternatively you can also provide the URL to the pre-build R package file.
The pre-build R package of opencgaR can be downloaded from the OpenCGA v2.0.0 GitHub Release at .
Once requirements have been fulfilled, installing opencgaR becomes as easy as use the install.packages function in R. install.packages can also install a source package from a remote .tar.gz file by providing the URL to such file.
