You can find prepackaged versions of PCAGO-Electron here.

Following versions are available:

• Minimal: Only contains Electron.
• Standard: Contains Electron and ffmpeg
• Ubuntu: Contains Electron, ffmpeg and compiled dependencies for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (with R 3.4.3)

Running

We provide prepacked versions of PCAGO-Electron that you can download here. Download the appropriate version and run the included starter or just electron.exe (Windows) / ./electron (Linux).

Obtaining the source code

PCAGO-Electron requires PCAGO that has to be placed into the pcago folder. If you are cloning the repository, you can run:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/rnajena/pcago-electron.git

If you already cloned the PCAGO-Electron repository, you can let git automatically download all submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Running from source

To run PCAGO-Electron from source, you need npm. Run npm start in the PCAGO-Electron folder to run the application. If you use Linux, you should install ffmpeg (with MP4 support) from your distribution's package sources. Otherwise you need to download a build of ffmpeg for Linux and place it into the ffmpeg-linux-x64 directory (see README file within this folder).

Deploying PCAGO-Electron

To create prepacked versions of PCAGO-Electron, run ./deploy.sh. This requires distributable versions of Electron (electron-* directories), ffmpeg (ffmpeg-) and R (R-). See the respective README files for more information.
