PXFtools command line utility

This project provides a command line utility for operating over Phenotype eXchange Format (PXF) files.

Building

Install sbt (Scala Build Tool) on your system. For Mac OS X, it is easily done using Homebrew: brew install sbt. sbt requires a working Java installation, but you do not need to otherwise install Scala.

sbt compile

Development versions of pxftools may depend on the latest snapshot version of the PhenoPackets Java API. You may need to install the latest phenopackets-api into your local Maven repository before building pxftools.

Running

You can download a prepackaged release.

To build the command-line executable, run:

sbt stage

You will find executables for Unix and Windows in target/universal/stage/bin/. These depend on the libraries in target/universal/stage/lib.

Packaging a release

sbt universal:packageZipTarball

The release package will be at target/universal/pxftools-<version>.tgz
