data

Set the location of the CheckM reference data.

The data setRoot action stores the location of the CheckM reference data in CheckM’s DATA_CONFIG file. A different DATA_CONFIG file can be given as an optional second argument. Setting the CHECKM_DATA_PATH environment variable is an alternative to this command and takes precedence over it. See Reference data for details.
