STAR.install {ORFik} | R Documentation

## Download and prepare STAR

### Description

Will not run "make", only use precompiled STAR file.
Can only run on unix systems (Linux and Mac), and requires minimum 30GB memory on genomes like human, rat, zebrafish etc.

### Usage

    STAR.install(folder = "~/bin", version = "2.7.4a")

### Arguments

`folder` | path to folder for download, fille will be named "STAR-version", where version is version wanted.
`version` | default "2.7.4a"

### Details

ORFik for now only uses precompiled STAR binaries, so if you already have a STAR version it is adviced to redownload the same version, since STAR genome indices usually does not work between STAR versions.

### Value
