Computer Requirement

PRIMEGENS can run on Sun, DEC, and Linux PC. It can run on other Unix platforms as well, but we do not support them.

Installation

Please use the following steps to install PRIMEGENS:

  • To get the password, please contact the authors.

  • Go to the installation directory for primegens (preferably in /usr/local):
    	cd /usr/local
    

  • Download the distribution file and save it at the installation directory.

  • Decrypt the distribution files using the password we sen:
    	crypt password < crypt.primegens.tar.Z  > primegens.tar.Z
    
  • Unpack the compressed tar files:
    	zcat primegens.tar.Z | tar xvf -
    
    It will generate a directory called "primegens", and all the related files are saved in the directory.

  • Define the environments ($FINDSEG_PATH and $BLAST_TMP) and put them in .cshrc or .login file, e.g.,
    	unlimit
    	#(allow processing large data set)
    
    	setenv FINDSEG_PATH /usr/local/primegens/
    	#(the path of the primegens package)
    
    	setenv BLAST_TMP  /tmp/
    	#(the path used as a temporary disk space for intermediate results)
    

  • Define an alias for the excutable and put it in .cshrc or .login file:
    	alias primegens '/usr/local/primegens/bin/primegens.sun'
