gecko.worldclim {gecko}

Download worldclim files.

Description

Download the latest version of worldclim to your gecko work directory. If you have not yet setup a work directory, it will be be setup as if running gecko::gecko.setDir() with gisPath = NULL. This is a large dataset that is prone to fail by timeout if downloaded through R. Instead of using this function you can run gecko.setDir() (if you haven't yet) and download the files at https://geodata.ucdavis.edu/climate/worldclim/2_1/base/wc2.1_30s_bio.zip or https://geodata.ucdavis.edu/climate/worldclim/2_1/base/wc2.1_10m_bio.zip. Unzip their contents correspondingly to the folders "./worldclim/1 km" or "./worldclim/10 km" inside the folder returned by gecko.getDir().
