Installation
Installing GSL and GD libraries
In order to install VAT these external packages need to be installed first . Please, follow the instruction provided by the single packages. After they are installed, the first step for VAT is the installation and configuration of BIOS. BIOS is a C library of useful general definitions for manipulating strings, arrays, and parser and more related to bioinformatic analysis. It requires the GSL library, which, in most systems, can be installed with 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 in most systems with:
$ cd /path/to/gdSource/ $ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/installation/ --with-jpeg=/path/to/jpegLib/ $ make $ make install
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.
