Testing Binder for R with some esd examples

RStudio:

Press the above image to launch an Rstudio session loading esd

Jupyter+R (Jupyter running on the IRkernel )

As of now the nbviewer preview does not show, but press "show build logs" or something and you will se that the instance is loading. It might take a minute.

To replicate: have files specifing the build in the main repo or in a folder called binder. I have

binder/apt.txt :
libnetcdf-dev

binder/install.R :
install.packages("ncdf4")
install.packages("zoo")
install.packages("devtools")
install.packages("knitr")
install.packages("RgoogleMaps")
devtools::install_github("metno/esd")

binder/requirements.txt :
jupytext

binder/runtime.txt :
r-2018-07-10

requirements.txt with Jupytext is to be able to run Rmarkdown in Jupyter. For this one also needs : .jupytext/jupyter_notebook_config.py : c.NotebookApp.contents_manager_class = 'jupytext.TextFileContentsManager' Remeber to open .Rmd and .ipynb and set kernel to R locally so the fiels will open with the R kernel in Jupyter as default

Afterwards copy your github repository name and add the information here: https://mybinder.org/#

You can recieve an url-link to RStudio by choosing URL where it says "Path to a notebook file (optional)" and then writing 'rstudio': https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/helene-b-e/binder_r_test.git/master?urlpath=rstudio
