The goal of sourmashconsumr is to parse, analyze, and visualize the outputs of the sourmash python package. The sourmashconsumr package is still under active development.
You can install the development version of sourmashconsumr from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("Arcadia-Science/sourmashconsumr")Eventually, we hope to release sourmashconsumr on CRAN and to provide a conda-forge package. We’ll update these instructions once we’ve done that.
See the vignette for full instructions on how to run the sourmashconsumr package (coming soon!).
