====== Installation of FASTA 35.4.8 ======

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

None required

===== Procedure  =====

Here is the procedure followed to install FASTA from its source code:

  * The source code archive was downloaded and put under ''/home/bioubuntu'', decompressed and the created folder is moved toward ''/opt/bio/sources''.

  * This folder should belong to ''root'' and its permissions should be set at ''755''.

<code bash>
% sudo chown -R root:root /opt/bio/sources/fasta-35.4.8
% sudo chmod 755 /opt/bio/sources/fasta-35.4.8
</code>

  * Get into the ''fasta-35.4.8'' folder and simply compile:

<code bash>
% cd src
% sudo make -f ../make/Makefile.linux.sse2
</code>

  * The applications located in ''fasta-35.4.8/bin'' are made available to all users by doing a modification of the ''/etc/profile'' file at the very end of the file:
<code bash>
#
# FASTA specific environment variable
#
PATH=/opt/bio/sources/fasta-35.4.8/bin:$PATH
</code>
