BppSuite presentation

BppSuite is a suite of ready-to-use programs for phylogenetic and sequence analysis.

Installation

From source files

Get the sources

This is done with git, for example in directory $bpp_dir:

cd $bpp_dir
git clone https://github.com/BioPP/bppsuite

Compiling

Bio++ libraries need to be installed beforehand, for example in $bpp_dir. The needed libraries are bpp-core, bpp-seq, bpp-phyl, bpp-popgen.

After, you proceed:

cd bppsuite
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$bpp_dir ./ # prepare compilation
make # compile
make install # move files to the installation directory (this will create a $bpp_dir/bin/ directory)

That's it ! The executables are now installed in $bpp_dir/bin.

Without the option -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$bpp_dir, the standard /usr/local directory will be used, and the executables installed in /usr/local/bin, a location which requires superuser access rights.

Usage

Bppsuite executables should know where the dynamic libraries are. A way to check it is the command:

ldd $bpp_dir$/bin/bppml

To configure this, set in the shell environment variable :

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$bpp_dir

(and source the configuration file or relog).
