====== Installation of Bioconductor 2.5 ======

===== 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|pre-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! After it is done, you need to install the RAMA et BRIDGE modules which are necessary for [[mev|MeV]]:  
<code>
>biocLite("rama")
>biocLite("bridge")
</code>
