Installation

1. Download or clone the package.
2. Place structureHarvester.py and harvesterCore.py in the same directory (or leave them where they are).
3. There is no step 3.

Usage

Usage: structureHarvester.py --dir=path/to/dir/ --out=path/to/dir/ [options]

structureHarvester.py takes a STRUCTURE results directory (--dir) and an
output directory (--out will be created if it does not exist) and then
depending on the other options selected harvests data from the results
directory and performs the selected analyses

Options:
  --version         show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help        show this help message and exit
  --dir=RESULTSDIR  The structure Results/ directory.
  --out=OUTDIR      The out directory. If it does not exist, it will be created. Output written to summary.txt
  --evanno          If possible, performs the Evanno 2005 method. Written to evanno.txt. default=False
  --clumpp          Generates one K*.indfile for each value of K run, for use with CLUMPP. default=False
