Here is the procedure to install NJPlot from source code:

• The archive with the source code is downloaded from the web in /home/bioubuntu, decompressed and the newly created folder is moved in /opt/bio/sources.

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

% sudo mv njplot-2.3 /opt/bio/sources
% sudo chown -R root:root /opt/bio/sources/njplot-2.3

• Once you are in /opt/bio/sources/njplot-2.3, you need to edit the makefile file by changing the following lines with new values:

#uncomment and locally adapt next line to fix the full helpfile path name
HELPFILENAME = -DHELPFILENAME=\"/opt/bio/sources/njplot-2.3/njplot.help\"
 
# Vibrant top directory
VIBRANT = /usr/include/ncbi
 
# motif library directory
MOTIFLIB = /usr/lib
MOTIFINCL = /usr/include

• NJPlot is easily compiled:

% sudo make

• To make these applications available to all:

% sudo ln -s /opt/bio/sources/njplot-2.3/njplot /usr/local/bin/njplot
% sudo ln -s /opt/bio/sources/njplot-2.3/newicktops /usr/local/bin/newicktops
% sudo ln -s /opt/bio/sources/njplot-2.3/newicktotxt /usr/local/bin/newicktotxt
% sudo ln -s /opt/bio/sources/njplot-2.3/unrooted /usr/local/bin/unrooted
