Document how to go from an ItemList to an Emu-R database. #1

Open oxinabox opened 7 years ago

oxinabox commented 7 years ago

The Alveo website ItemList action for download to EmuR says to use library(alveo). But there are not instructions here on how to actually use this library for accessing any of the data in an EmuR way.

I suspect this method holds the key but I can not find any instructions for it.

This module is unfortunately in need of some love. If you had some time and expertise to work on it I could give some pointers to what is needed. Otherwise I'll try to get it fixed as soon as possible but resources are spread a bit thin right now.

I don't think my R skills are yet up to scratch. I will, for now, probably, attempt to download the item list directly as a .zip. (Though I am having some issues with that also; expect an issue to be raised for that shortly.)

Zip is ok for small item lists (up to 200 files). More than that you need a script and we really do need to provide a recipe....so I'll get this done asap.
