🌸 NAME 🌸

download-ncbi-software — download executables from NCBI's FTP site 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

download-ncbi-software [-]magic-blast|[-]datasets|[-]sra-toolkit

like... pick one, bestie, she's not doing all three at once 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so download-ncbi-software downloads the requested executable(s) to the current directory — if possible. and "if possible" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, because rn that's only on amd64. soz 😭

ngl, if you're not on amd64, this vibe check is not passing. read the room. 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• [-]magic-blast — downloads magicblast plus a corresponding makeblastdb. the little duo, the buddy system, iconic 👑
• [-]datasets — downloads datasets and dataformat. two for one, we love to see it 🍓
• [-]sra-toolkit — downloads the full SRA Toolkit (into a subdirectory, bc she's a big girl). 🧚 and heads up: on Debian systems, the SRA Toolkit is also available via the sra-toolkit package, which supports arm64 in addition to amd64. so if you're an arm64 girlie on Debian, that's your lane fr fr 🫶
