A shiny app reproducing the models used in the Introduction to Tuberculosis modelling course practicals, run by TB MAC at the 2017 Union conference.

Using Docker

Docker is a container software that seeks to eliminate "works on my machine" issues. For installation and set up instructions see here.

This docker container is based on the shiny docker image, see here for instructions on use. To run the docker image run the following in a bash shell:

docker pull seabbs/intro_to_tb_models
docker run --rm -p 3838:3838 seabbs/intro_to_tb_models
