Installation of Treefinder October 2008

Java, already installed.

Here is the procedure to install Treefinder:

• After downloading the archive containing the applications and auxiliary files, decompressed the ZIP archive in /home/bioubuntu and move the newly created folder in /opt/bio/sources:

% sudo mv Treefinder /opt/bio/sources

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

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

• You need to edit the tf et treefinder scripts so that they both use a proper $TFDIR environment variable by adding this line:

export TFDIR=/opt/bio/sources/Treefinder

• To make these programs available to all:

% sudo ln -s /opt/bio/sources/Treefinder/tf /usr/local/bin/tf
% sudo ln -s /opt/bio/sources/Treefinder/treefinder /usr/local/bin/treefinder

• To add Treefinder in the Impilo application menu, you need to edit the Xfce4 configuration file:

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

• The three items to add are :
  • Item: Launcher
  • Name: Treefinder
  • Command: treefinder
