Hi! Thanks for making an issue! Checkout the "Installation" section of the readme for instructions on how to install.
I'd recommend getting a handle on using conda
if you are new to bioinformatics. It's incredibly useful.
However, if you just want to get off the ground and moving, the easiest way to do that would be to go the the releases page and download the binary (or wget <url>
if you're on a server / cluster), and then then rename it with mv <name of download> perbase
, then chmod +x perbase
to make it executable. You can put it somewhere that is in your $PATH
so it can be used from anywhere.
Alternatively, you can install rust (here), then run cargo install perbase
which will compile it from source on your system. There's a chance it could run into issues requiring zlib and git on your system, so I'd recommend using conda or the pre-built binary for the least friction.
Thank you Seth! you've given me a good start of things to try!
Thank you for making and maintaining this tool!

@JMNGLS - you're welcome! I'm going to close this for now, but feel free to re-open if you run into issues.
Sorry i am a new bioinformatician trying to train myself. It looks like perbase can do exactly what i need, but i am having trouble installing it! Seeing the error code: E: Unable to locate package perbase
I don't see perbase on packages.ubuntu.com I am excited about using perbase, any help or hints about how to get the program would be appreciated.
