====== Installing Dotter ======

===== Additional Libraries =====

You will need the following libraries to compile and run the applications found in the SeqTools package (which now include Dotter):

  * ''libgtk2.0-dev''
  * ''libcurl4-openssl-dev''

<code bash>
% sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
</code>

===== Procedure =====

Here is the procedure to build and install Dotter in Impilo:

  * You need to download the source code from the Sanger Institute:

<code bash>
% wget ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub4/resources/software/seqtools/PRODUCTION/seqtools-4.4.1.tar.gz
</code>

  * You then need to decompress this archive and move it under ''/opt/bio/sources'':

<code bash>
% tar -zxvf seqtools-4.4.1.tar.gz
% sudo seqtools-4.4.1 /opt/bio/sources
</code>

  * In ''/opt/bio/sources'', make sure that the ''seqtools-4.4.1'' folder belongs to ''root'' and that the write permissions for Group and Other are removed:

<code bash>
% sudo chown -R root:root /opt/bio/sources/seqtools-4.4.1
% cd /opt/bio/sources/
% sudo chmod -R go-w seqtools-4.4.1
</code>

  * Once you are inside ''seqtools-4.4.1'', everything else is simple:

<code bash>
% cd seqtools-4.4.1
% sudo ./configure && sudo make && sudo make install && sudo make clean
</code>

  * Although these applications are interactives and using a graphical user interface, you can only use via the command line interface because they need sequences as inputs to start.
