====== Installation of Bioconductor 2.6 ======

===== Additional libraries =====

At system level:

  * libxml2-dev
  * libcurl4-openssl-dev

<code bash>
% sudo apt-get install libxml2 libcurl4-openssl-dev
</code>

R will take care of everything else ;-)

===== Procedure =====

Bioconductor having an absolute requirement of having R [[r:| already installed]], make sure it is!

  * Since we are installing from within R, open a R session. Using ''sudo'' is necessary because we want to install at system-level, not user-level.
<code bash>
% sudo R
</code>

  * In the R console, type these commands:
<code>
>source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
>biocLite()
</code>

  * This will take some time; take the time to kiss the spouse, feed the pets and water the plants!

  * **NOTE**: since the RAMA and BRIDGE modules are now deprecated in MeV, it is not necessary to install the corresponding Bioconductor modules.
