### Installation

* Configuration file: `checkformat_config.xml`
* Image file: `static/images/checkformat_workflowPositionImage.png`   
* Wrapper file: `checkformat_wrapper.R`  
* R packages  
    + **batch** from CRAN
 
    ```r
    install.packages("batch", dep=TRUE)  
    ```

### Tests

The code in the wrapper can be tested by running the `runit/checkformat_tests.R` R file

You will need to install **RUnit** package in order to make it run:
```r
install.packages('RUnit', dependencies = TRUE)
```

### Working example

See the **W4M00001a_sacurine-subset-statistics**, **W4M00001b_sacurine-complete**, **W4M00002_mtbls2**, or **W4M00003_diaplasma** shared histories in the **Shared Data/Published Histories** menu (https://galaxy.workflow4metabolomics.org/history/list_published)
