Creating an SPK to put a CRAN Package on Spotfire Server
By running a few lines of TERR code, you can create a Spotfire SPK that you can deploy to Spotfire Server for use by the Spotfire web clients.
About this task
You can create an SPK containing packages, you can add a package to an existing SPK, or you can remove a package from an SPK. This topic demonstrates creating an SPK containing two packages by downloading the packages, and then creating the Debian Control File (DCF) that specifies the package contents.
Perform this task from the TERR console.
You must use the same version of TERR that is running in the TERR service on the node manager. This version of TERR must be a supported version, as listed in the System Requirements.
Before you begin
- Review the SPK information in this Help.
- You must have access to the TERR console.
- You must have access to the Spotfire Server deployment area.
- You must have access to an internet connection that allows you to download packages from CRAN.
- You must build a package for the operating system on which your Spotfire Server node manager is installed.
Procedure
Results
If you already installed the TERR service to your node manager, you must upgrade the service for the newly-installed packages to be deployed.
