Now that you have successfully curated and configured the database you may choose to share with your collaborators. There are several options:
Send a zip file: Share all database, configuration, and customization files as a zip file. Your collaborators will need to unzip the file, install the omicser package (and requirements) and launch the browser to view the application locally on their own computer’s R / RStudio.
Host the application: Launch the browser on a shared network server that can run R indefinitely. Your collaborators will be able to access the browser via a URL.
Please be congnizant of possible data privacy and security issues when choosing a method for sharing your application. These issues are specific to your data and research questions.
