Installation of STRAP Compilation 07.08.09

Java, which is already installed.

Here is the procedure to install STRAP:

• STRAP is distributed as a JAR archive, with the program ready to run. Create a folder under /home/bioubuntu, move the JAR file in it and move the folder in /opt/bio/sources.

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

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

• Once you are in /opt/bio/sources/strap, create a small script to ease the use of STRAP:

% sudo nano runStrap

• Put these lines in the file:

#!/bin/sh
java -jar /opt/bio/sources/strap/strap.jar

• You need to make this script executable and available to all:

% sudo chmod ugo+x runStrap
% sudo ln -s /opt/bio/sources/strap/runStrap /usr/local/bin/runStrap

• To add STRAP to the Impilo application menu, modify the Xfce4 configuration file:

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

• The three things that need to be add are :
  • Item: Launcher
  • Name: STRAP
  • Command: runStrap
