BppSuite is a suite of ready-to-use programs for phylogenetic and sequence analysis.
This is done with git, for example in directory $bpp_dir:
cd $bpp_dir git clone https://github.com/BioPP/bppsuite
Bio++ libraries need to be installed beforehand, for example in $bpp_dir. The needed libraries are bpp-core, bpp-seq, bpp-phyl, bpp-popgen.
After, you proceed:
cd bppsuite cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$bpp_dir ./ # prepare compilation make # compile make install # move files to the installation directory (this will create a $bpp_dir/bin/ directory)
That's it ! The executables are now installed in $bpp_dir/bin.
Without the option -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$bpp_dir, the standard /usr/local directory will be used, and the executables installed in /usr/local/bin, a location which requires superuser access rights.
Bppsuite executables should know where the dynamic libraries are. A way to check it is the command:
ldd $bpp_dir$/bin/bppml
To configure this, set in the shell environment variable :
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$bpp_dir
(and source the configuration file or relog).
