Downloads the pre-built .vtr for each named backbone into the taxify data directory (taxify_data_dir()), so subsequent taxify() calls match against them offline. taxify installs its default set automatically on first use (COL, GBIF, ITIS); call this to pre-install a specific set, add a backbone to the default, or refresh to the latest release. Already-current backbones are skipped.

Usage

install_backbones(backbones = NULL, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

backbones

Character vector of backbone names (see list_backbones()). NULL (default) installs taxify's first-run set: COL, GBIF, and ITIS.

verbose

Logical. Default TRUE.

Value

Invisibly, the backbones now installed (those that downloaded successfully), in priority order.

See also

list_backbones() for the full set with sizes, taxify().

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Pre-install a marine-focused set before matching:
install_backbones(c("col", "worms"))
} # }
