# ESS Interim Data Analysis Tool for Windows OS
  
This repository contains the tool and R portable that allows users to run the interim data analysis without any R knowledge or other software prerequisities besides using Windows.  

This is just a simple C# wrapper that runs (provided) R portable.
R portable is sourced from Sourceforge.net: https://sourceforge.net/projects/rportable/

## How to use the tool  
  
### End users

### Developers

The `Tool/` subdirectory contains the source code for the GUI tool.  
After compilations make sure to create the following directory structure under (!) the final executable (say `tool.exe`):  
- tool.exe  
- `R/` should contain a copy of `R_portable` directory contents
- `Tool_files/` should contain a copy of `TOOL_FILES` directory contents  

**Important information**  
`TOOL_FILES` only contains old demo scripts and is not updated regularly in this repository. Please use the appropriate GIT repository for the latest versions of scripts!
