here is the procedure to install de Archeopteryx:

• The application is contained in a JAR archive named forester.jar. After downloading it, create a folder named archeopteryx in /home/bioubuntu, put the JAR file in and move this folder to /opt/bio/sources:

% mkdir archeopteryx
% mv forester.jar archeopteryx/

• Get into /opt/bio/sources/archeopteryx. To execute the JAR as an application, you need to create a very simple script named aptly enough archeopteryx and put the following lines in it:

#!/bin/sh
java -cp /opt/bio/sources/archaeopteryx/forester.jar org.forester.atv.ATV

• To make it accessible to all, do this:

% sudo chmod 755 /opt/bio/sources/archeopteryx/archeopteryx
% sudo ln -s /opt/bio/sources/archeopteryx/archeopteryx /usr/local/bin/archeopteryx
