Installation

Installing the external GSL and GD libraries

In order to install VAT two external libraries must be installed first. Please, follow the instructions provided by each package. The GSL library can be installed on most systems using the following commands (for details, please refer to the specific instructions at the GNU Scientific Library website):

$ cd /path/to/gslSource/
$ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/installation/
$ make
$ make install

Similarly, the GD library can be installed on most systems with the following commands:

$ cd /path/to/gdSource/
$ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/installation/ --with-jpeg=/path/to/jpegLib/
$ make
$ make install

After they are installed, the first step to install VAT is the installation and configuration of BIOS. BIOS is a general C library for manipulating strings, arrays (this library requires the GSL library).

Installing and configuring BIOS

To install BIOS a few variables need to be set before compiling the library. Here is an example of the procedure on a bash shell:

$ export BIOINFOCONFDIR=/pathToBios/conf/
$ export BIOINFOGSLDIR=/pathToGsl/
$ cd /pathToBios/
$ make
$ make prod

Please refer to BIOS documentation for additional information.
