Example 1: launch UI when generating the dataset

When running the main function run (see Dataset Generation Tutorial for more information), simply set launch_ui to TRUE or do not specify anything.

run(..., launch_ui = TRUE)    # this is the default option

Example 2: launch UI once the dataset has been generated

After generating the dataset with the run() function, simply run in R

launch_gcamreport_ui()

Troubleshooting when launching the UI with the Docker installation

A) Wired message when launching the UI when using the Docker installation.

After using the functions run() or launch_gcamreport_ui() to launch the UI, you might get this message:

Listening on http://0.0.0.0:3838
/usr/bin/xdg-open: 882: www-browser: not found
/usr/bin/xdg-open: 882: links2: not found
/usr/bin/xdg-open: 882: elinks: not found
/usr/bin/xdg-open: 882: links: not found
/usr/bin/xdg-open: 882: lynx: not found
/usr/bin/xdg-open: 882: w3m: not found
xdg-open: no method available for opening 'http://127.0.0.1:3838' 

This is not an error! You simply need to either go to your Docker Desktop program and click the last started port

or open this url http://localhost:4000 in your favourite browser.

B) Error when using the UI through Docker installation.

When opening your localhost, you might see this error:

Possible solution: your UI is not running. Try to either use the run() function or the launch_gcamreport_ui().
