Users of auk
are encouraged to set the path to the directory containing the
eBird Basic Dataset (EBD) text files in the EBD_PATH
environment variable.
All functions referencing the EBD or sampling event data files will check in
this directory to find the files, thus avoiding the need to specify the full
path every time. This will increase the portability of your code. Use this
function to set EBD_PATH
in your .Renviron file; it is
also possible to manually edit the file.
Arguments
- path
character; directory where the EBD text files are stored, e.g.
"/home/matt/ebd"
.- overwrite
logical; should the existing
EBD_PATH
be overwritten if it has already been set in .Renviron.
