Basics

I assume you use Linux Ubuntu. Go to terminal and run the following commands:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
sudo R CMD javareconf

Back in R, install dependent packages from CRAN:

x <- c("XLConnect", "RJSONIO","devtools")
install.packages(x)

# load the packages
lapply(x, require, character.only=T); rm(x)

Now install the treemap package from github:

install_github("cvitolo/r_treemap", subdir = "treeMap")
library(treeMap)

Run a test

writeMapTrees(system.file('table.xls', package = 'treeMap'),outputPath="~")

Use your own excel file

writeMapTrees('/myfile.xls',outputPath="")

Warnings

This package and functions herein are part of an experimental open-source project. They are provided as is, without any guarantee.
