installation of releases beyond v1.10.4 #1145

Closed cecileane closed 1 year ago

cecileane commented 1 year ago

I am assuming that the latest version is the best and ready for broad usage, but I can't find instructions to install it. The documentation only refers to v1.10.4, and to files that don't seem to exist in the latest version, like bin/beast and lib/beauti.jar. I would love any hint to create the jar files (assuming that's what I need). Thanks!

Hi Cécile,

I think the best approach would be to git clone the beast-mcmc repository and try to build / install using ant (this can be easily done using the IntelliJ IDE, which I prefer, but also via command line). For example: git clone git@github.com:beast-dev/beast-mcmc.git cd beast-mcmc ant build.xml

Upon successfully building the application, the jar files will be located in beast-mcmc/build/dist

Best regards, Guy

Fantastic, thank you Guy! ant build.xml failed for me, but ant worked (in case this is helpful to others). As you can see, ant is new to me. Also, prior to building, I did git checkout sars-cov-2-origins to get a version that can easily be referenced in a paper. Thank you!
