These R scripts depend on the following libraries:

• colorspace
• dplyr
• gh
• jsonlite
• purrr
• tibble

If you have a Conda environment for local development and testing, install the packages:

conda install -c conda-forge r-colorspace r-dplyr r-gh r-jsonlite r-purrr r-tibble

GitHub may limit your API access if you are not authenticated. To avoid this, generate a basic Personal Access Token with no roles associated (not even "repo"). Copy the token, and export it under the new environment variable GITHUB_PAT.

For CI platforms, installing a full R environment is time-consuming. A faster alternative is to use the EESSI filesystem overlay.

There is a GitHub Action for this: eessi/github-action-eessi. This is used in our /.github/workflows/build-and-deploy.yml.

To build the data feeds locally, from the top-level directory of this repository, run

make data

This will create (or update) JSON files under _data with the latest content.
