# Add custom installations here

## Install packages based on DESCRIPTION file in repository. 
## Inspired from Holepunch package, by Karthik Ram: https://github.com/karthik/holepunch

## Copies your description file into the Docker Container, specifying dependencies

USER root
COPY ./DESCRIPTION ${HOME}
# The above line adds only the description file for the project
# Uncomment the following line if you want the container to contain your entire repo

#COPY . ${HOME}
RUN chown -R ${NB_USER} ${HOME}

RUN if [ -f DESCRIPTION ]; then R --quiet -e "options(repos = list(CRAN = 'http://mran.revolutionanalytics.com/snapshot/2019-08-26/')); devtools::install_deps()"; fi

# Add further custom installations as needed
