This is a small BEAST 2 package which contains additions to the core functionality. The common thread which connects these additions is that they all work to increase the flexibility of BEAST and to empower users to set up a broader range of analyses without needing to write additional Java code.
You won't find new models here, but you will find different ways to combine existing models and make certain tasks easier.
You can install directly from within BEAUti by opening the package manager via File->"Manage packages", selecting "feast" and clicking the "Install/Upgrade" button.
To build the package you'll need OpenJDK 17 or later, together with an installation of the OpenJFX SDK. Once these dependencies are in place, issue the following command from the root directory of this repository:
JAVA_FX_HOME=/path/to/openjfx/libs ant
The package archive will be left in the dist/
directory.
A guide to the various components in feast (with examples) can be found at https://tgvaughan.github.io/feast.
