The following libraries are necessary:

• libtcmalloc-minimal0
• libboost-all-dev
• flex

% sudo apt-get -y install libtcmalloc-minimal0 libboost-all-dev flex

Here is the procedure to install MIRA 3 from its source code:

• The archive with the source code for MIRA 3 is downloaded from the web site in /home/bioubuntu, decompressed and the newly created folder is moved in /opt/bio/sources.

% tar -jxvf mira-3.2.0rc2.tar.bz2
% mv mira_3.2.0rc2 /opt/bio/sources

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

% sudo chown -R root:root /opt/bio/sources/mira_3.2.0rc2
% sudo chmod 755 /opt/bio/sources/mira_3.2.0rc2

• To complete compilation of MIRA without getting some warning about the tcmalloc install, you need to do this:

% sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/libtcmalloc.a

• Once that you are in /opt/bio/sources/mira_3.2.0rc2, you only need to do this:

% cd /opt/bio/sources/mira_3.2.0rc2
% sudo ./configure --with-tcmalloc-dir=/usr/lib && sudo make && sudo make install
