It uses the [Levenshtein Distance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance) to calculate the differences between sequences. More details on the functionality of fuzzywuzzyR can be found in the [blog-post](http://mlampros.github.io/2017/04/13/fuzzywuzzyR_package/) and in the package Vignette.\n\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n### **System Requirements**\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n* Python (\u003e= 3.8)\n\n* difflib\n\n* fuzzywuzzy ( \u003e=0.15.0 )\n\n* [python-Levenshtein](https://github.com/ztane/python-Levenshtein/) ( \u003e=0.12.0, optional, provides a 4-10x speedup in String Matching, though may result in differing results for certain cases)\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nBefore the installation of any python modules one should check the python-configuration using :\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n```R\nreticulate::py_config()\n\n```\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAll modules should be installed in the default python configuration (the configuration that the R-session displays as default), otherwise errors might occur during package installation. \n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n#### **Linux OS (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora etc.)**\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n```R\nsudo apt-get install python3-pip\nsudo pip3 install --upgrade pip\npip3 install fuzzywuzzy\npip3 install python-Levenshtein\n```\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\n#### **Mac OSX** and **Windows OS**\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nUsers of the `fuzzywuzzyR` package will find the required information on how to configure Python for **Mac OSX** and **Windows OS** in the [reticulate](https://github.com/rstudio/reticulate) Github repository. The `fuzzywuzzyR` package depends on the `reticulate` package.\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n### **Installation of the fuzzywuzzyR package**\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nTo install the package from CRAN use, \n\n```R\n\ninstall.packages('fuzzywuzzyR')\n\n\n```\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nand to download the latest version from Github use the *install_github* function of the remotes package,\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n```R\n\nremotes::install_github(repo = 'mlampros/fuzzywuzzyR')\n\n```\n\u003cbr\u003e\nUse the following link to report bugs/issues,\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n[https://github.com/mlampros/fuzzywuzzyR/issues](https://github.com/mlampros/fuzzywuzzyR/issues)\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n### **Citation:**\n\nIf you use the code of this repository in your paper or research please cite both **fuzzywuzzyR** and the **original software** [https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=fuzzywuzzyR/citation.html](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=fuzzywuzzyR/citation.html):\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n```R\n@Manual{,\n  title = {{fuzzywuzzyR}: Fuzzy String Matching in R},\n  author = {Lampros Mouselimis},\n  year = {2025},\n  note = {R package version 1.0.6},\n  url = {https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=fuzzywuzzyR},\n}\n```\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmlampros%2Ffuzzywuzzyr","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmlampros%2Ffuzzywuzzyr","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmlampros%2Ffuzzywuzzyr/lists"}
