Qiita Client

Qiita (canonically pronounced cheetah) is an analysis environment for microbiome (and other "comparative -omics") datasets.

This package includes the Qiita Client utility library, a library to simplify the communication between the plugins and the Qiita server.

How to test this package?

In order to test the Qiita Client package, a local installation of Qiita should be running in test mode on the address https://localhost:8383, with the default test database created in Qiita's test suite. Also, if Qiita is running with the default server SSL certificate, you need to export the variable QIITA_ROOTCA_CERT in your environment, so the Qiita Client can perform secure connections against the Qiita server:

export QIITA_ROOT_CA=<QIITA_INSTALL_PATH>/qiita_core/support_files/ci_rootca.crt
