1 Brief installation instructions for HMMER 2.2
2 SRE, Sun Aug 5 16:22:52 2001
3 ------------------------------------------
5 For a source distribution (hmmer-2.2.tar.gz):
7 uncompress hmmer-2.2.tar.gz Uncompresses the archive.
8 tar xf hmmer-2.2.tar Unpacks the archive. (makes a new directory, hmmer-2.2)
9 cd hmmer-2.2 Moves into the distribution toplevel directory.
10 ./configure Configures the software for your system.
11 make Builds the binaries.
12 make check Runs the test suite to test the new binaries.
13 make install Installs the software. (You may need to be root.)
15 It should build cleanly on just about any UNIX machine.
17 For a binary distribution (hmmer-2.2.bin.<platform>-<os>.tar.gz),
18 for example, the sun-solaris distro:
20 uncompress hmmer-2.2.bin.sun-solaris.tar.Z
21 tar xf hmmer-2.2.bin.sun-solaris.tar
26 Note that "make" and "make check" aren't necessary, since you
27 have a precompiled distribution.
29 If your machine doesn't have a C compiler, the ./configure will
30 fail, and you won't be able to do a "make install". This is
31 an artifact of the way I have the configure script built.
32 If this happens, just copy the man pages and binaries whereever
33 you want them, for instance:
35 cp Man/* /usr/local/man/man1/
36 cp binaries/* /usr/local/bin/
38 HMMER doesn't depend on any external data files, so the installation is
39 simple - the binaries are free standing, and you can install
40 them anywhere you like.
