1 System Requirements
|
|
|
2 ===================
|
|
|
3
|
|
|
4 SAMtools depends on the zlib library <http://www.zlib.net>. The latest
|
|
|
5 version 1.2.3 is preferred and with the latest version you can compile
|
|
|
6 razip and use it to compress a FASTA file. SAMtools' faidx is able to
|
|
|
7 index a razip-compressed FASTA file to save diskspace. Older zlib also
|
|
|
8 works with SAMtools, but razip cannot be compiled.
|
|
|
9
|
|
|
10 The text-based viewer (tview) requires the GNU ncurses library
|
|
|
11 <http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/>, which comes with Mac OS X and
|
|
|
12 most of the modern Linux/Unix distributions. If you do not have this
|
|
|
13 library installed, you can still compile the rest of SAMtools by
|
|
|
14 manually modifying one line in Makefile.

17 Compilation
|
|
|
18 ===========
|
|
|
19
|
|
|
20 Type `make' to compile samtools. If you have zlib >= 1.2.2.1, you can
|
|
|
21 compile razip with `make razip'.

24 Installation
|
|
|
25 ============
|
|
|
26
|
|
|
27 Simply copy `samtools' and other executables/scripts in `misc' to a
|
|
|
28 location you want (e.g. a directory in your $PATH). No further
|
|
|
29 configurations are required.
