[Bioperl-l] INSTALL and INSTALL.WIN

[Barry Moore]

lynx -dump http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Installing_Bioperl_for_Unix

does a reasonable job of textifying html.  You get the links as  
numbered references at the bottom or:

lynx -dump http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Installing_Bioperl_for_Unix |  
perl -ane 's/\[?\[\d+\](edit\])?//g;print'

to remove the links all together.

BIOPERL INSTALLATION

    Bioperl has been installed on many forms of Unix, Win9X/NT/2000/XP,
    and on Mac OS X (see the PLATFORMS file for more details).  
Following are
    instructions  for  installing Bioperl for Unix/Linux/Mac OS X;  
Windows
    installation instructions can be found here. For installing  
Bioperl for
    Mac OS X using Fink, see Getting BioPerl.


SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

      * Perl 5.005 or later; version 5.6 and greater are recommended.  
Note
        that most modules will work with earlier versions of Perl.  
The only ones
        that will not are Bio::SimpleAlign and the Bio::Index::*  
modules. If
        you don't need these modules and you want to install Bioperl  
using an
        earlier version of Perl, edit the "require 5.005;" line in  
Makefile.PL
        as necessary.

      * External modules: Bioperl uses functionality provided in  
other Perl
        modules. Some of these are included in the standard perl  
package but
        some  need to be obtained from the CPAN site. The list of  
external
        modules is included at the bottom of this document.

    The CPAN Bioperl Bundle (Bundle::BioPerl) makes installation of  
these
    external modules easy. Simply install the bundle using your CPAN  
shell and
    all necessary modules will be installed. See THE BIOPERL BUNDLE,  
below.


OPTIONAL

      * ANSI  C  or  GNU  C  compiler  (gcc)  for  XS  extensions (the
        bioperl-ext package; see BUILDING THE OPTIONAL bioperl-ext
        PACKAGE, below).



ADDITIONAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION

      * Additional information on Bioperl and MAC OS:
           + OS 9 - http://bioperl.org/Core/mac-bioperl.html
           + OSX-http://www.tc.umn.edu/~cann0010/ 
Bioperl_OSX_install.html
           + OS X - Installing using Fink (in Getting BioPerl)



THE BIOPERL BUNDLE

    You typically need root privileges to install using CPAN. If you  
don't
    have these privileges please see INSTALLING BIOPERL IN A PERSONAL  
MODULE
    AREA for additional information.

    Install Bundle::Bioperl using CPAN. One way:
 >perl -MCPAN -e "install Bundle::BioPerl"

    Another way:
 >perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan>install Bundle::BioPerl
