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 pre-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! After it is done, you need to install the RAMA et BRIDGE modules which are necessary for MeV:

>biocLite("rama")
>biocLite("bridge")
