This toolkit is meant to be a collection of tools useful for working with count/size data generated by the Multisizer4 Coulter counter.
Prerequisites: R
To download this toolkit, in your command line terminal type...
git clone https://github.com/gettl008/MultisizerToolkit
The main program "multisizer2csv" converts .#m4 files to diameter binned csv files that can be analyzed in your favorite statistics program. This should work with any flavor of Unix(Mac)/Linux. To install:
- Move into this program's bin directory
cd <PATH>/multisizer2csv/bin
- All files in this directory's bin need to be in your $PATH variable. Easiest way to do this...
sudo cp ./* /usr/local/bin/
Alternatively, you can temporarily add this directory to your PATH.
export PATH=<PATH>/multisizer2csv/bin:$PATH
To permenantly add this to your path this line must be added to your configuration profile. With Mac:
nano ~/.bash_profile
With Linux:
nano ~/.bashrc
For both add the line:
export PATH=<PATH>/multisizer2csv/bin:$PATH
To run and see options: > multisizer2csv.sh -h
The Multisizer Toolkit also includes a local R package called "mstools". To install, in R type:
install.packages("<PATH>/mstools")
To load:
library(mstools)
