I'm on the makedb step of the installation process, and I'm confused about where the RefSeqVirusProtein comes from. I don't see any steps saying to download a protein database but I'm assuming it's separate from nr since that's a separate database?

Sorry for your confusion, the reference protein database is available for download at NCBI RefSeq via ftp as follows: wget -c ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/refseq/release/viral/viral.1.protein.faa.gz
