At system level:

• libxml2-dev
• libcurl4-openssl-dev

% sudo apt-get install libxml2 libcurl4-openssl-dev

R will take care of everything else

Bioconductor having an absolute requirement of having R already installed, make sure it is!

• Since we are installing from within R, open a R session. Using sudo is necessary because we want to install at system-level, not user-level.

% sudo R

• In the R console, type these commands:

>source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
>biocLite()

• This will take some time; take the time to kiss the spouse, feed the pets and water the plants!

• NOTE: since the RAMA and BRIDGE modules are now deprecated in MeV, it is not necessary to install the corresponding Bioconductor modules.
