Config

• Fill in Indeed PUBLISHER_ID in IndeedAPICalls.py
• Set environment variable RPYTHON_PYTHON_VERSION=2.7

Note: RPYTHON_PYTHON_VERSION shouldn't need to be set for install (it should default to system version see:https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rPython/INSTALL) however when installing rPython package to Ubuntu I had to set it for install to work. This was not a problem on Mac. Also on both Mac and Ubuntu setting this to version 3 still defaulted to 2.7. In this case it is not an issue because IndeedAPICalls.py will run on either.

R Packages

> install.packages(c('ggplot2','maps','ggmap','tm','wordcloud','plyr','zipcode', 'shiny', 'rPython')), repos='http://cran.us.r-project.org')

Note: If installing on a Shiny Server install packages as root. If not only user who installed them will have access to them. Which is a problem when the shiny user is running the server.
