add installation script for unix machines #13

Closed IsmailM closed 6 years ago

IsmailM commented 6 years ago

This is based on something I did for another tool (so feel free to close without merging if you aren't feeling it)

Basically, the idea is to make it even easier to install and use TaxonKit

By running the following, the script:

# Will work when this is in the master branch
$ sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shenwei356/taxonkit/master/install.sh)"

The following will work if you want to test it (uses my copy of the install script):

$ sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IsmailM/taxonkit/master/install.sh)"

The downside is that it doesn't take into account window machines (but I guess this could be made clear in the readme)...

It's simple enough to install taxonkit, and downloading by script using curl is not necessary and available for all people, especially for those with bad network like me. So I'll close this. Thank you.
