MotifFindR is an R project used to identify Transcription Factor Binding Sites through motif analysis and was created exclusively for an internal renal cancer research project, 2023-2024.

• Install Git: If you haven't already, download and install Git from git-scm.com.
• Open a Terminal or Command Prompt: Access your command line interface. On Windows, you can use Command Prompt or PowerShell. On macOS or Linux, open the Terminal.
• Navigate to the Directory: Use the cd command to navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository.
• Clone the Repository: Use the git clone command followed by the URL of the repository. See below:

git clone https://github.com/timyers/MotifFindR

• MotifFindR uses the R package renv to create a reproducible environment. It records the exact package versions MotifFindR depends on in a lockfile, renv.lock, and ensures those exact versions get installed.

• After installation, when you open the project renv should automatically bootstrap itself, downloading and installing the appropriate version of renv. It should also ask if you want to download and install all the packages MotifFindR needs by running renv::restore().

  • NOTE: The renv package tracks but does not help with the version of R used (the version of R used can be found in the renv.lock file). renv can't help with this because it runs inside of R. However, there are other tools that can help. Tools like The R Installation Manager or rig can help with switching between multiple versions of R on one computer.

This is a basic example.
