HyPhy command line documentation #1630
Comments
Dear @casparbein,
Best, |
Hi Sergei, thanks for your quick reply. As to your second question, yes, I mean the command line mode where you have to interact with the program as opposed to a statement where you specify all parameters in advance. In absrel, for example, I would run something like this: Cheers, |
Dear @casparbein, Ah, I understand now. The tutorial itself is a bit out-of-date (it's from ~2017), so some of the options have disappeared. With the newer HyPhy analysis, i.e. the ones that take You can see most analysis arguments by typing
The conditional arguments, like The optional arguments, like Because One more reason to develop better docs. Unfortunately, as you well know, I am sure, documentation is the last thing that academic s/w developers usually focus on. I'll create a list of key environment variables in this issue and ask @stevenweaver to also post a version of it on our main website. Best, |
PS. We have been trying to standardize common analysis outputs to be a single JSON file. |
Dear Sergei, thank you for your detailed reply, I appreciate your efforts to extend the documentation. Also, I want to reiterate that the programs in the HyPhy suite we use work really well for our purposes. The issue I raised was more to convince ourselves that we are not missing important parameters that we simply could not find in the manual or the website. Thanks again for taking this seriously. |
Here are some environment variables that may be of general use. Note that some of the analyses provide their own values for some of these variables, and those will take precedence over whatever is specified on the command line.

Dear Sergei, thank you very much for this list! I am sure that it will be helpful for us and others. Cheers, |
Dear @casparbein, I'll keep adding to it; there's quite a few more. Although I think it might be better done including specific examples. Best, |
Hi,
Thanks for developing and maintaining the HyPhy suite!
I have a general question/comment: As seen in this issue, sometimes there seem to be command line options in HyPhy that I could not find in the documentation anywhere. Since we are running several HyPhy tools over a large number of alignments, interactive command line operations are not feasible. Is there an exhaustive manual, where options like ENV or others are explained? Overall, the command line functionality seems to be not as powerful as the interactive mode, since for example in absrel, the output will be only a json file (as opposed to the additional CSV and Nexus file of the interactive mode).
Thanks a lot!
