Installation of CLUSTALW 2.0.12

Additional libraries

None required

Procedure

Here is the procedure to install CLUSTALW from its source code:

  • The source code archive was downloaded and put under /home/bioubuntu, decompressed and the created folder is moved toward /opt/bio/sources.
% sudo mv clustalw-2.0.12 /opt/bio/sources
  • This folder should belong to root and its permissions should be set at 755.
% sudo chown -R root:root /opt/bio/sources/clustalw-2.0.12
  • Once you are in /opt/bio/sources/clustalw-2.0.12, compilation is easily done:
% sudo ./configure && sudo make
  • Because EMBOSS is looking for clustalw, not clustalw2, we need to change the name. We also need to make it available to all users:
% sudo ln -s /opt/bio/sources/clustalw-2.0.11/src/clustalw2 /usr/local/bin/clustalw
