clustur was developed for two main reasons: to allow developers to easily create pipelines with mothur code in R, and to give users a powerful clustering algorithm from mothur without having to download it. Because clustur is built using rcpp, it benefits from the speed of C++ and the usability of R. Additionally, since clustur will be open source, developers can modify are package as needed. This will not only help us continue to create high quality packages, but will allow everyone to take advantage of the foundation that is already built.
For the official release from CRAN you can use the standard
install.packages() function:
# install via cran
install.packages("clustur")
library(clustur)For the developmental version, you can use the install_github()
function from the {devtools} package
# install via github
devtools::install_github("SchlossLab/clustur")
library(clustur)To get started, look at the “Getting started” page.
