Install vsearch binary

Downloads and installs the vsearch binary from GitHub into the MiscMetabar user data directory. This is especially useful on Windows where vsearch is not available from a system package manager.

After installation, all MiscMetabar functions that use vsearch will find the binary automatically via find_vsearch().

Usage

install_vsearch(
  version = "latest",
  path = tools::R_user_dir("MiscMetabar", "data"),
  force = FALSE
)

Arguments

version

(default: "latest") The vsearch version to install (e.g. "2.30.5"). Use "latest" to fetch the most recent release.

path

(default: tools::R_user_dir("MiscMetabar", "data")) Directory where vsearch will be installed.

force

(default: FALSE) If TRUE, re-download even if vsearch is already installed.

Value

The path to the installed vsearch binary (invisibly).
