Install BEAST2
Due to CRAN policy, beastier cannot install BEAST2.
As a workaround, the non-CRAN
beastierinstall
can be used.
To install BEAST2:
remotes::install_github("richelbilderbeek/beastierinstall")
beastierinstall::install_beast2()
Example for v2.1
Run BEAST2:
output_state_filename <- "out.state"
run_beast2(
input_filename = get_beastier_path("2_4.xml"),
output_state_filename = output_state_filename
)
This will create the files as specified in the 2_4.xml BEAST2 input file.
Example for v2.0.25
output_log_filename <- "out.log"
output_trees_filename <- "out.trees"
output_state_filename <- "out.state"
run_beast2(
input_filename = get_beastier_path("2_4.xml"),
output_log_filename = output_log_filename,
output_trees_filenames = output_trees_filename,
output_state_filename = output_state_filename
)
Note that in this version, the filenames for the .log
and .trees files could be specified. This is unneeded:
the 2_4.xml BEAST2 input file specifies where these files will be stored:
<?xml [...]?><beast [...]>
[...]
<run [...]>
[...]
<logger id="tracelog" fileName="test_output_0.log" [...]>
[...]
</logger>
[...]
<logger id="treelog.t:[...]" fileName="$(tree).trees" [...]>
[...]
</logger>
</run>
</beast>
When using beautier, this can be specified in create_mcmc:
create_mcmc(
tracelog = create_tracelog(
filename = "my_trace.log"
),
treeslog = create_treeslog(
filename = "my_trees.trees"
)
)
