Installation of T-COFFEE 8.06

Installation of T-COFFEE 8.06

Additional libraries

No additional library is necessary.

Procedure

This is the procedure to install T-COFFEE from source code:

  • The archive with the source code has been downloaded into /home/bioubuntu, decompressed and the resulting folder moved into /opt/bio/sources.
  • This filder should belong to root and its permissions set to 755.
% sudo chown -R root:root /opt/bio/sources/T-COFFEE_distribution_Version_8.06
% sudo chmod 755 /opt/bio/sources/T-COFFEE_distribution_Version_8.06
  • Once you get into T-COFFEE_distribution_Version_8.06, compilation is easily done:
% sudo ./install
  • The script will take some time to run. On a few occasions, it will ask you to answer some questions to install some Perl modules but the default selections are perfectly OK.
  • At the end of the installation process, you need to change the owner of the ~/.t_coffee folder:
% sudo -R chmod bioubuntu:bioubuntu ~/.t_coffee
  • To make sure that all users can access the application:
sudo ln -s /opt/bio/sources/T-COFFEE_distribution_Version_8.06/bin/binaries/linux/t_coffee /usr/local/bin/t_coffee
  • You can do some cleanup in /opt/bio/sources/T-COFFEE_distribution_Version_8.06/bin/:
% sudo rm /opt/bio/sources/T-COFFEE_distribution_Version_8.06/bin/download/*
