Downloading and installing the automat2 software
First note that if you only use plain command-line automat2 program, it is not compulsory to download
the easyX11 library (this may be usefull in case you want to use the program from a Windows operating
system).
Download the source codes
automat2X11 source codes is contained in two tarballs contening the graphical toolkit and the program
itself:
download easyX11 library
(if this fails try the following link)
download automat2 source code
(if this fails try the following link)
Command-line installation instructions
First download the automat.tgz tarball file, then create a source directory and uncompress the tarball
in it. For example in a unix system, the sequence of command could be :
cd
mkdir SOURCES
mkdir SOURCES/PUBLIC
cd SOURCES/PUBLIC
tar -xvzf ../../automat.tgz
cp automat2.hA automat2.h (otherwise you will have a French speaking version)
make /usr/local/bin/automat2
(This assumes that you have write permission to the /usr/local/bin directory, otherwise, you should
change the BINDIR to another directory of your own, and make ``your_directory''/automat2)
And compile a few auxilliary programs as well:
make /usr/local/bin/automatPS
make /usr/local/bin/extractor
make /usr/local/bin/gp2fasta
make /usr/local/bin/HFRfilter
make /usr/local/bin/lowHfilter
make /usr/local/bin/nullfilter
make /usr/local/bin/polyAfilter
make /usr/local/bin/swissprot_to_fasta
make /usr/local/bin/printext
Installation instructions for graphic user interface
For that purpose, you should first download and install the easyX11 library, following the
easyX11 library
installation instructions.
Once this is done, you should download and uncompress the automat.tgz tarball. On a typical UNIX system
the basic commands are:
cd
mkdir SOURCES
mkdir SOURCES/PUBLIC
cd SOURCES/PUBLIC
tar -xvzf ../../automat.tgz
cp automat2.hA automat2.h (otherwise you will have a French speaking version)
cp automat2X11.hA automat2X11.h (same reason)
make all_immuno
(This assumes that you have write permission to the /usr/local/bin directory, otherwise, you should
change the BINDIR in the makefile to another directory of your own, and make all_immuno)
