Installation

PR friendly! If you have instructions for your OS, consider submitting a PR.

Debian / Ubuntu

git clone https://github.com/hiAndrewQuinn/resorter.git
cd ./resorter

# sudo needed the first time to download + compile BradleyTerry package.
sudo apt install r-base cmake

Gwern further notes:

As with any user-installed language, you may run into compile errors while installing dependencies.

Look for a missing C library to install system-wide as root, or see if your package manager provides one of the dependencies already as a precompiled binary, so you can apt-get install r-cran-bradleyterry2 or apt-get install r-cran-lme4 to bypass any compile errors.

macOS

Install R with Homebrew if needed.

git clone https://github.com/hiAndrewQuinn/resorter.git
cd ./resorter

brew install r

Quickstart

# Capitalization matters.
# This will take a while the first time. You may need `sudo` / admin privileges.
Rscript resorter.r --output out.csv --input in.csv
