## Requirements

R (version >= 3.0.2), RStudio IDE.

## Online Usage

The app can be used online at [stratigraphicpaleobiology.shinyapps.io/shellbed_condensator](https://stratigraphicpaleobiology.shinyapps.io/shellbed_condensator/). Online usage does not require an installation of R.

## Offline Usage

Open the file _ShellbedCondensator.Rproj_ in the RStudio IDE. This will open the RProject, and install the `renv` package (if not already installed). Then run

```R
renv::restore()
```

in the console to install all dependencies required for the app. To run the app, use

```R
shiny::runApp()
```
