This command is used to retrieve the dataset for the SARS-CoV-2 virus using the Nextclade tool. Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • nextclade dataset get: This is the command-line instruction to get the dataset.

  • --name sars-cov-2: This option specifies the name of the dataset you want to retrieve, which in this case is "sars-cov-2". It indicates that you want to get the dataset specifically for the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

  • --output-dir ${path-to-directory}: This option specifies the directory where you want to save the retrieved dataset. ${path-to-directory} should be replaced with the actual path to the desired directory on your system. This is where the dataset will be stored.

By executing this command with the appropriate values, Nextclade will retrieve the dataset for the SARS-CoV-2 virus and save it to the specified directory.
