pip
$ git clone https://github.com/DRL/blobtools.git
$ cd blobtools
$ ./install
The installation script will:
- install Python dependencies through
pip - download and install a copy of samtools-1.5 into the folder
blobtools/samtools/ - download a copy of NCBI TaxDump and create a nodesDB.txt file in
blobtools/data/. BlobTools will use this file for linking TaxIDs to NCBI taxonomies - create a BlobTools executable (
blobtools) in the main directory
$ ./blobtools -h
