proteomics repositories. The paths to the downloaded files are written to stdout.

Positional Arguments¶
- identifier
The ProteomeXchange, PRIDE, or MassIVE identifier for the project.
- files
One or more files to download. If none are provided, all files associated with the project are downloaded. Unix-style glob wildcards can be used, but they will need to be enclosed in quotation marks so as not to match files in your current working directory.
Named Arguments¶

The local directory where data will be downloaded. The default is ~/.ppx/<identifier>. This can also be changed globally by setting the PPX_DATA_DIR environment variable to your desired location.
- -t, --timeout
The maximum amount of time to wait for a server response.
- -f, --force
Should ppx download files that are already present in the local data directory?
Default: False
