The main analysis is done with the R statistical programming language. R itself can be downloaded [here](https://cloud.r-project.org/). [RStudio](https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download) is a good IDE for R. Install the necessary R packages with:
```R
install.packages(c("rbch","data.table","future.apply","RSQLite","DBI","igraph","stringr"))
install.packages(c("rbch","data.table","future.apply","RSQLite","DBI","igraph","stringr","curl"))
```
Linux users may have difficulties installing the required packages due to external dependencies (as they must be compiled from source). Ubuntu users will require ```build-essential```, ```libcurl4-openssl-dev``` and ```libgmp3-dev```. Please raise an issue here if you encounter any further issues.
You must have a Bitcoin Cash (BCH) full node synced with the transaction index enabled with the `-txindex` flag. As of now, the analysis has been tested with the [Bitcoin Unlimited](https://www.bitcoinunlimited.info/) node implementation.
It is best to run the following script files successively in separate R sessions for better RAM management.

The script spawns multiple R process threads to accelerate queries to `bitcoind` and will take several hours to execute. In the specified data directory, a set of files named `tx_graph_height_BEGIN _to_END.rds` will be created.
