## fuzzywuzzyR
The **fuzzywuzzyR** package is a fuzzy string matching implementation of the [fuzzywuzzy](https://github.com/seatgeek/fuzzywuzzy) python package. 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.
**UPDATE 26-07-2018**: A [Singularity image file](http://mlampros.github.io/2018/07/26/singularity_containers/) is available in case that someone intends to run *fuzzywuzzyR* on Ubuntu Linux (locally or in a cloud instance) with all package requirements pre-installed. This allows the user to utilize the *fuzzywuzzyR* package without having to spend time on the installation process.
### **System Requirements**
* Python (>= 2.4)
* difflib
* fuzzywuzzy ( >=0.15.0 )
* [python-Levenshtein](https://github.com/ztane/python-Levenshtein/) ( >=0.12.0, optional, provides a 4-10x speedup in String Matching, though may result in differing results for certain cases)
Before the installation of any python modules one should check the python-configuration using :
```R
reticulate::py_config()
```
All modules should be installed in the default python configuration (the configuration that the R-session displays as default), otherwise errors will occur during package installation.
#### **Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora**
**Python2**
```R
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
pip install fuzzywuzzy
pip install python-Levenshtein
```
**Python 3**
```R
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip3 install fuzzywuzzy
pip3 install python-Levenshtein
```
#### **Macintosh OSX**
```R
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install fuzzywuzzy
sudo pip install python-Levenshtein
```
#### **Windows OS**
* Download of [get-pip.py](https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py)
* Update of the Environment variables ( Control Panel >> System and Security >> System >> Advanced system settings >> Environment variables >> System variables >> Path >> Edit ) by adding ( for instance in case of python 2.7 ) :
```R
C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts
```
* Install the [Build Tools for Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2017)
* Open the *Command prompt* and use the following commands:
```R
pip install fuzzywuzzy
pip install python-Levenshtein
```
### **Installation of the fuzzywuzzyR package**
To install the package from CRAN use,
```R
install.packages('fuzzywuzzyR')
```
and to download the latest version from Github use the *install_github* function of the devtools package,
```R
devtools::install_github(repo = 'mlampros/fuzzywuzzyR')
```
