Installation of inGAP 2.0.1

Java, already installed.

Here is the procedure to install inGAP:

• InGAP is distributed in a *.tar.gz archive. This archive is decompressed into /home/bioubuntu and the resulting folder is moved into /opt/bio/sources.

% sudo mv /home/bioubuntu/inGAP_linux64 /opt/bio/sources

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

% sudo chown -R root:root /opt/bio/sources/inGAP_linux64
% sudo chmod 755 /opt/bio/sources/inGAP_linux64

• Once you are in /opt/bio/sources/inGAP_linux64, you need to modify the file named inGAP to make it work in an Impilo installation. Open it in a text editor, erase all the lines present and put these new lines instead:

#!/bin/sh
INGAP_HOME=/opt/bio/sources/inGAP_linux64
java -Xmx1000m -jar $INGAP_HOME/inGAP.jar

• This script is already executable. You only have to make it available to all users:

% sudo ln -s /opt/bio/sources/inGAP_linux64/inGAP /usr/local/bin/inGAP

• To add inGAP to the Impilo application menu, you need to modify the Xfce4 configuration file:

% sudo xfce4-menueditor /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml

• The three things to add are :
  • Item: Launcher
  • Name: inGAP
  • Command: inGAP
