====== Installation of Mesquite 2.72 ======

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

Java, already installed.

===== Procedure =====

Here is the procedure to install Mesquite:

  * After downloading the Mesquite archive from the web, it is decompressed in ''/home/bioubuntu'' and moved in ''/opt/bio/sources'':

<code bash>
% sudo mv Mesquite_Folder /opt/bio/sources
</code>

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

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

  * The startup script ''run_mesquite.sh'' needs to be edited for the script to work in Impilo. To be on the safe side:

<code bash>
% sudo cp /opt/bio/sources/Mesquite_Folder/run_mesquite.sh /opt/bio/sources/Mesquite_Folder/run_mesquite.sh.bck
</code>

  * Use a text editor to open ''run_mesquite.sh'' and remove all of its content to put the following lines instead:

<code bash>
#!/bin/bash
MESQUITE_HOME=/opt/bio/sources/Mesquite_Folder
java -Djava.libray.path=lib -Djri.ignore.ule="yes" -Xmx256M -Xss4m -cp $MESQUITE_HOME mesquite.Mesquite $*
</code>

  * To make the application available to all:

<code bash>
% sudo ln -s /opt/bio/sources/Mesquite_Folder/run_mesquite.sh /usr/local/bin/mesquite
</code>

  * To add Mesquite to the Impilo application menu, you need to edit the Xfce4 configuration file:

<code bash>
% sudo xfce4-menueditor /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml
</code>

  * The items to add are :
    * Item: Launcher
    * Name: Mesquite
    * Command: mesquite
