Where to download files needed for --data-dir parameter

[flannsmith]

I just downloaded virsorter through setting up a conda environment. However I cannot find anything in the documentation stating where to get the files needed to pass to the --data-dir parameter which I presume are virsorter's viral databases.
Does the virsorter-data folder get downloaded automatically with a conda installation or should it be installed from somewhere externally? Any guidance appreciated!

Hi,
Please see section https://github.com/simroux/VirSorter#using-a-conda-virtual-environment-tested-on-ubuntu-and-centos

Download the databases required by VirSorter which have been converted to be used with HMMER version 3.1b2. Change to the directory where you want the databases be, and then run the following commands:
wget https://zenodo.org/record/1168727/files/virsorter-data-v2.tar.gz
md5sum virsorter-data-v2.tar.gz -> md5sum should return dd12af7d13da0a85df0a9106e9346b45
tar -xvzf virsorter-data-v2.tar.gz

The folder you'll get from "virsorter-data-v2.tar.gz" is the one that needs to be passed via --data-dir

Best,
Simon
