Original execution workflow
The original entry point is shown below. It invokes the map-generation and Twitter publishing code. Review its configuration, dependencies and API credentials before running it. The command can publish posts.
$ Rscript R/trigger.R
The entry point attempts to run R/01_create_map.R three times per invocation. Each successful run can publish a map and update the local log.
