4. USING THE QLAPPLY PACKAGE

We assume that the installation and configuration steps described in Section 3 are complete, both on the server and on the client side. Now start up R and use the library command to import the qlapply package (note: you may need to use lib.loc argument to guide R to the specific location you installed qlapply to). Then call autoStart(file="your_own_config.py") to set up the remote server (you may need to specify the path where your own configurtion file is saved if that file is not in the current working directory). Now you are ready to use the qlapply function.

Before exiting the R session, call autoKill() function to terminate the server process. Please see next section for a full example.
