Feature request: pre-built VADR APT package

[kislyuk]

Hello,

Thank you for providing VADR. The installation script recommended in the instructions requires online access, an intricate compilation process, and uses a number of external dependencies. For ease of distribution, it would be ideal if VADR could be packaged as an APT package with its dependencies vendored or expressed as Debian/Ubuntu package dependencies (such as ncbi-blast+, hmmer, and infernal).

Hi @kislyuk , thanks for your feature request. We are working on some other new features in VADR but will add this to the list of possible future improvements. FYI, there is a docker image of VADR maintained by the staph-b group: https://github.com/StaPH-B/docker-builds/tree/master/vadr
