library(usethis)

usethis::create_package(
  path = "~/P1C1001"
  )

Initiate an environment

library(renv)

renv::init()

renv::install("mi-erasmusmc/studyGenerics")

Insert the structure

Finally, use the function studyGenerics::insertStructure to create a common configuration of packages and files to start developing a study package. You can use the parameter n_obj to define the number of objectives in your study. This will create a file to write a script for each objective in the /R folder.

library(studyGenerics)

studyGenerics::insertStructure(
  path = ".", # Default to create the study structure in the package you are currently in
  n_obj = 3 # Default 3, in number.
)
