Installation of Artemis 12

Java, already installed.

Here is the procedure to install Artemis:

• After downloading the TAR archive and decompressing it into /home/bioubuntu, move the newly created artemis folder under /opt/bio/sources.

% wget ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub4/resources/software/artemis/artemis.tar.gz
% tar -zxvf artemis.tar.gz
% sudo mv artemis /opt/bio/sources

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

% sudo chown -R root:root /opt/bio/sources/artemis
% sudo chmod 755 /opt/bio/sources/artemis

• To make the Artemis tools available to all, simply do these steps:

% sudo ln -s /opt/bio/sources/artemis/art /usr/local/bin/art
% sudo ln -s /opt/bio/sources/artemis/act /usr/local/bin/act
% sudo ln -s /opt/bio/sources/artemis/dnaplotter /usr/local/bin/dnaplotter
