set_vsearch_executable specifies the valid command to invoke VSEARCH.

Usage

set_vsearch_executable(vsearch_executable)

Arguments

vsearch_executable

(Required). Full path to the VSEARCH executable on your computer.

Value

Nothing is returned, but the option Rsearch.vsearch_executable is updated. The string is also saved to a file for later R sessions, i.e. you only need to update this once (or if you change how you run/install VSEARCH).

Details

Use this function to change the command used to invoke the external software VSEARCH on this computer. When the Rsearch package is installed this command is by default just "vsearch".

If you have a windows computer and have copied the binary vsearch.exe to the folder C:/Documents/ on your computer, you update R with this information by set_vsearch_executable("C:/Documents/vsearch").

You may use the function vsearch to test if the command is valid.
