\n\nThe **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.\n\n\n
\n\n**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.\n\n
\n\n### **System Requirements**\n\n
\n\n* Python (>= 2.4)\n\n* difflib\n\n* fuzzywuzzy ( >=0.15.0 )\n\n* [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)\n\n
\n\nBefore the installation of any python modules one should check the python-configuration using :\n\n
\n\n```R\nreticulate::py_config()\n\n```\n
\n\nAll 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. \n\n
\n\n#### **Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora**\n\n
\n\n**Python2**\n\n```R\nsudo apt-get install python-pip\nsudo pip install --upgrade pip\npip install fuzzywuzzy\npip install python-Levenshtein\n```\n
\n\n**Python 3**\n\n```R\nsudo apt-get install python3-pip\nsudo pip3 install --upgrade pip\npip3 install fuzzywuzzy\npip3 install python-Levenshtein\n```\n

\n\n\n\n#### **Macintosh OSX** \n
\n\n```R\nsudo easy_install pip\nsudo pip install fuzzywuzzy\nsudo pip install python-Levenshtein\n```\n
\n\n#### **Windows OS**\n\n
\n\n* Download of [get-pip.py](https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py)\n* 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 ) : \n```R\nC:\\Python27;C:\\Python27\\Scripts\n```\n\n* Install the [Build Tools for Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2017)\n* Open the *Command prompt* and use the following commands:\n```R\npip install fuzzywuzzy\npip install python-Levenshtein\n```\n\n
\n\n### **Installation of the fuzzywuzzyR package**\n\n
\n\nTo install the package from CRAN use, \n\n```R\n\ninstall.packages('fuzzywuzzyR')\n\n\n```\n
\n\nand to download the latest version from Github use the *install_github* function of the devtools package,\n

\n\n```R\n\ndevtools::install_github(repo = 'mlampros/fuzzywuzzyR')\n\n```\n
