Precompiled binary distributions of HMMER are available for at least
Intel/Linux, Silicon Graphics IRIX 5.x and 6.x, and Sun Sparc Solaris
2.x platforms.
To install a precompiled distribution, do the following:
- 1.
- Download the distribution from http://hmmer.wustl.edu/.
- 2.
- Uncompress and un-tar it; for example,
> uncompress hmmer-intel-linux.tar.Z
> tar xf hmmer-intel-linux.tar
A new directory hmmer-xx is created, where ``xx'' is
the HMMER version number.
- 3.
- Edit the top of the Makefile.
To build and test HMMER in the distribution directory, you don't need
to edit the Makefile at all. But to permanently install HMMER on your
system, set the make variables BINDIR and MANDIR to be the directories
where you want HMMER executables and man pages to be installed. If you
are installing in directories called bin/ and man/ in your home
directory, you don't need to change anything.
- 4.
- (Optional) Type 'make test' to compile and run a test suite.
Some of the tests require that you have Perl installed. None of these
tests should fail.
- 5.
- Type 'make install' to install the programs and man pages.
You may have to become root, depending on where you're installing.
- 6.
- Type 'make clean' to clean up.
