3 bioperl-network Installation
6 2. Installing bioperl-network (Unix or Cygwin)
7 3. Installing bioperl-network (Windows and ActiveState Perl)
12 Perl 5.6.1 is required.
14 The bioperl-network package depends on the core BioPerl package. See
15 http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Getting_BioPerl or the BioPerl INSTALL file
16 for instructions for downloading and installing BioPerl. You must
17 install at least the corresponding version of Bioperl: since this
18 is bioperl-network 1.5.2, bioperl 1.5.2 is required.
20 bioperl-network also depends on Perl's Graph package. See CPAN at
21 www.perl.org for instructions on downloading and installing Graph,
22 use Graph version .86 or greater.
24 Reading PSI XML files using bioperl-network requires the XML::Twig
25 module. See CPAN at www.perl.org for instructions on downloading
26 and installing XML::Twig.
29 2. Installing bioperl-network (Unix, Mac OS X and Cygwin)
31 Installation instructions at the following address apply here:
32 http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Installing_Bioperl_for_Unix
33 The following sections summarize the essential points from there.
36 To install using CPAN you will need a recent version (v1.8802 has
37 been tested) of it and your prefer_installer conf set to 'MB':
40 cpan>o conf prefer_installer MB
44 Now find the name of the bioperl-network version you want:
47 cpan>d /bioperl-network/

49 Distribution S/SE/SENDU/bioperl-network-1.5.2_100.tar.gz
53 cpan>install S/SE/SENDU/bioperl-network-1.5.2_100.tar.gz
55 If you've installed everything perfectly then you may pass all the tests
56 run in the './Build test' phase.
57 It's also possible that you may fail some tests. Possible explanations:
58 problems with local Perl installation, previously undetected bug in
59 Bioperl, flawed test script and so on. A few failed tests may not affect
60 your usage of bioperl-network.
62 If you decide that the failed tests will not affect how you intend to use
63 bioperl-network and you'd like to install anyway do:
65 cpan>force install S/SE/SENDU/bioperl-network-1.5.2_100.tar.gz
67 This is what most experienced Bioperl users would do. However, if you're
68 concerned about a failed test and need assistance or advice then contact
69 bioperl-l@bioperl.org.
73 >gunzip bioperl-network-<release-version>.tar.gz
74 >tar xvf bioperl-network-<release-version>.tar
77 where <release-version> is the current release.
81 You can run regression tests and install bioperl-network using the
88 You may have to have root privileges in order to run './Build install'
89 successfully on Unix. See the BioPerl INSTALL file for alternative approaches
90 if you don't have root or administrative privileges.
