Configuring STARS on Bio-Linux

Installing phrap

The distribution file should be named something like distrib.tar.Z.

Make a temporary directory 'phrap' and move the distribution file into it:

mkdir phrap
mv distrib.tar.Z phrap
cd phrap

You now need to uncompress the file:

uncompress distrib.tar.Z
tar xvf distrib.tar

To compile the program type:

make

To use phrap within STARS/Staden we need a modified version of phrap called 'gcphrap'. To compile this we need to download some files from the Staden website.

wget ftp://ftp.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/pub/staden/phrap/phrap_extras.tar.gz

Uncompress these files and move them to the current phrap source directory

gzip -cd phrap_extras.tar.gz | tar xvf -
cp phrap_extras/* .

Compile gcphrap by typing

make gcphrap

Copy the newly created 'phrap' and 'gcphrap' executable files to /usr/software/phrap (use the version number of the file you have been sent):

sudo mkdir -p /usr/software/phrap/phrap_0.990329
sudo ln -s /usr/software/phrap/phrap_0.990329 /usr/software/phrap/phrap
sudo cp phrap /usr/software/phrap/phrap
sudo cp gcphrap /usr/software/phrap/phrap
sudo chmod go-r /usr/software/phrap/phrap/phrap
sudo chmod go-r /usr/software/phrap/phrap/gcphrap
