Some troubles in installing

[CrazyHsu]

Hi, I have some problems in installing AStrap using install_github("BMILAB/AStrap") which dues to slow network, can you give some advise for Chinese users?

[CrazyHsu]

Maybe there is something i don't know, i can execute the install_github("BMILAB/AStrap"), but some issues were thrown out as below:

The downloaded source packages are in
        ‘/tmp/Rtmpjnnoy5/downloaded_packages’

It seems like there is no man file or directory, can you figure out what the problem is?

Hi,
Thanks for contacting. I have updated AStrap package, you can try to install it again using following command.

install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("BMILAB/AStrap")
library(AStrap)

In additaion, you can try local installation. First you need install all dependencies packages according to the "DESCRIPTION" file of Astrap.

• Install dependencies packages

Depends: R (>= 3.1.0), stringr, rtracklayer, igraph, BSgenome,
        Biostrings, BioSeqClass, ROCR
Suggests: RWeka, Gviz, randomForest, adabag, e1071, ggplot2

• Download Zip
• Unzip this file and rename this file.

>unzip AStrap-master.zip
>mv AStrap-master   AStrap
>zip -r AStrap.zip  AStrap

• Install it locally

>install.packages("C:/Users/Downloads/AStrap/AStrap.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary")
>library(AStrap)

You alse can find the raw code from this link https://github.com/nikou123456/Supplement.
If you have questions, please let me know.

Best，
Nikou

Besides，you may encounter the following problems about igraph package

Warning in install.packages :
  installation of package ‘igraph’ had non-zero exit status

You can try to solve the problem like following command

install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/r-devel-gcc8/igraph_1.2.4.2.zip", 
                 repos = NULL, type = "win.binary")
#or 
install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.5/igraph_1.2.5.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary")

I used a Chinese friend's computer to install using the following script

> install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.5/igraph_1.2.5.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary")

Hi, I had tried as you mentioned above. But my network still can't work smoothly with the command install_github("BMILAB/AStrap"), so i turned to the local installation. But when i went to the step install.packages("C:/Users/Downloads/AStrap/AStrap.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary"), it failed as below:

> install.packages("AStrap.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary")
Error in install.packages("AStrap.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary") : 
  cannot install Windows binary packages on this platform

Can i install the AStrap with linux environment? Thanks!

Of course. AStrap can be successfully installed on Windows, Linux and macOS. If you wrok under Linux enrionment, you can try following command for local installation.

install.packages("/path/package.tar.gz", repo=NULL, type="source")

the type "win.binary" should be replaced by "source"

It's so sad that it failed again with the below exceptions:

These is another way to use AStrap functions. First, make sure you have installed all dependencies packages according to the "DESCRIPTION" file of AStrap

Depends: R (>= 3.1.0), stringr, rtracklayer, igraph, BSgenome,
        Biostrings, BioSeqClass, ROCR
Suggests: RWeka, Gviz, randomForest, adabag, e1071, ggplot2

And then load these package

library(stringr)
...
library(rtracklayer) 

Download the AStrap package on your local and unzip it. And then load AStrap functions

source("/path/AStrap/R/AStrap.R")

If you want to load example data， as in,

rice_model<- load("/path/AStrap/data/rice_model.Rdata")
#or
rice_model<- readRDS("/path/AStrap/data/rice_model.Rdata")

trSequence.path <- "path/AStrap/inst/extdata/example_TRsequence.fasta"
trSequence <-  readDNAStringSet(trSequence.path,format = "fasta")

If you have questions, please let me know.

Best，
Nikou

Hi, I had tried command lines as you mentioned above, it failed again owing to some unknown issues on my machine like rJava can't be correctly install, etc. So I tried the default way to test the AStrap. Fortunately it ran smoothly, but after I typed plotAS(result$ASevent, id = 1), it turned out that 'Rplot.pdf' with no content: -rw-r--r-- 1 0 March 27 17:19 Rplots.pdf. Can you figure out what the problem it is? Thank you!! BTW, my OS is linux~

Hi~ plotAS function is used to visualize the AS event (optional, not necessary). Have you successfully installed the Gviz package? Have you checked the result from AStrap function? Therefore, first confirm that the Gviz package is successfully installed, and second confirm that AStrap function has valid result. Everything goes smoothly based on example data. Besides, In order to check what cause this problem, you can run the raw code of plotAS step by step .

#' @title Plotting a AS event.
#'
#' @description Visualization of AS events of different AS types, including AltA, AltD,
#'   ES, IR.
#'
#' @param ASevent A list of AS events.
#' @param id The ID of AS events.
#' @return This function retures a picture of AS event.
#' @examples
#' ##Load example data
#' load(system.file("data","sample_ASresult.Rdata",package = "AStrap"))
#' ##Visualization of AS events of different AS types
#' library(Gviz)
#' plotAS(result$ASevent, id = 1)
#' plotAS(result$ASevent, id = 7)
#' plotAS(result$ASevent, id = 13)
#' plotAS(result$ASevent, id = 21)
plotAS <- function(ASevent, id = 1) {
  Sali <- unlist(str_extract_all(ASevent$Salign[id], "\\d+"))
  alignNum <- length(Sali)

  Aend <- ASevent$Send[id]

  Sname <- ASevent$Sid[id]
  AStype <- ASevent$prediction[id]
  Seq <- unlist(str_extract_all(ASevent$spliceSeq[id], "\\w+"))
  aTrack1 <- AnnotationTrack(start = c(Sali[seq(1, alignNum, 2)]),
                             end = c(Sali[seq(2, alignNum, 2)]),
                             chromosome = "chr1", strand = "+", col = "gray",

                             shape = c("smallArrow","arrow"), fill = "gray",
                             group = AStype, id = c(Seq[1], Seq[2]), genome = "hg19", name = AStype)

Hi everyone, sorry about the installation issue. We have update the AStrap package and fixed the above problem. You can install the R package using the following commands on the R consol

install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("BMILAB/AStrap")
library(AStrap)

[moniwaldherr]

Hi!
For me the installation via the R console as described in the documentation is still not working. Installed it now via the here suggested download and directly sourcing from the unzipped folder, but would be great if this could be fixed :)
