## Download Drug Perturbation Signatures

### Description

This function allows you to download an array of drug perturbation signatures, as would be computed by the `drugPerturbationSig` function, for the available perturbation `PharmacoSets`. This function allows the user to skip these very lengthy calculation steps for the datasets available, and start their analysis from the already computed signatures

### Usage

    downloadPertSig(
      name,
      saveDir = file.path(".", "PSets", "Sigs"),
      fileName,
      verbose = TRUE,
      ...,
      myfn
    )

### Arguments

`name` | A `character(1)` string, the name of the PharmacoSet for which to download signatures. The name should match the names returned in the `PSet Name` column of `availablePSets(canonical=FALSE)`.
`saveDir` | A `character(1)` string with the folder path where the PharmacoSet should be saved. Defaults to `"./PSets/Sigs/"`. Will create directory if it does not exist.
`fileName` | `character(1)` What to name the downloaded file. Defaults to '`name`_signature.RData' when excluded.
`verbose` | `logical(1)` Should `downloader` show detailed messages?
`...` | `pairlist` Force subsequent arguments to be named.
`myfn` | `character(1)` A deprecated version of `fileName`. Still works for now, but will be deprecated in future releases.

### Value

An array type object contaning the signatures
