Installation

The package can be installed from Bioconductor (>= 3.9):

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("Rcwl")
    
# Or from github
BiocManager::install("rworkflow/Rcwl")

Hello world!

library(Rcwl)
inputs <- InputParamList(
    InputParam(id = "sth")
)
echo <- cwlProcess(baseCommand = "echo", inputs)
echo$sth <- "Hello World!"
res <- runCWL(echo)
