 After this, you'll also need to procure the reference data (the "metapackage"). See [singlem data](/tools/data).
 
+# Example data

+To test the main subcommand of SingleM, [pipe](/tools/pipe) works, download a minimal dataset and generate a taxonomic profile like so:
+```
+wget 'https://github.com/wwood/singlem/raw/44e1f81404c12931742259088999290edbb271b3/test/data/methanobacteria/genomes/GCA_000309865.1_genomic.fna'

 # Containerised SingleM installation examples
 
 To ensure that the instructions here work, they have been tested in containerised environments. Logs of this procedure are available at [https://github.com/wwood/singlem-installation](https://github.com/wwood/singlem-installation).
