Installation

There are a number of ways to install skills. We made {ally}, an R package that simplifies the process. Learn more

Install {pak}:

install.packages("pak")

Then install {ally}:

pak::pak("rfortherestofus/ally")

You only need to do this once per computer.

After you've installed the {ally} package, choose whether you want to install the skill in this project or in all of your projects, then run the command.

ally::install_skill("https://github.com/posit-dev/skills/blob/main/shiny/shiny-bslib-theming/SKILL.md")

This puts the skill in locations that all agents can read, inside this project, so anyone you're working with on the project can use it.

ally::install_skill("https://github.com/posit-dev/skills/blob/main/shiny/shiny-bslib-theming/SKILL.md", scope = "user")

This puts the skill in locations that all agents can read, in your home folder, so every project you work on can use it.
