Biopackages

RPM-based Linux distributions, including Fedora Core and CentOS, can install GBrowse using the RPMs located at http://www.biopackages.net/. These can be installed using the yum installer tool. For more information please see the Biopackages HOWTO.

Preliminaries

See the Biopackages HOWTO for the steps to setup Biopackages on your system.

Installing Packages

First, as root, freshen your local cache of yum header files. Yum will print something similar to what is below:

% yum update
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 2 - x86_64 - Base
Server: BioPackages (Stable x86_64) for Fedora Core 2 - x86_64
Server: BioPackages (Stable noarch) for Fedora Core 2 - x86_64
Server: Fedora Core 2 - x86_64 - Released Updates

Downloading needed headers
genome-Sce-annotation-gen 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB    00:00     
genome-Sce-nib-0-S228C-3. 100% |=========================| 1.7 kB    00:00     
chado-Sce-0-S228C.0.003-2 100% |=========================| 2.0 kB    00:00     
genome-Sce-annotation-aff 100% |=========================| 1.2 kB    00:00     
genome-Sce-0-S228C-3.2005 100% |=========================| 1.7 kB    00:00     

Then install gbrowse:

% yum install gbrowse

You can now visit the documentation and try out the example Yeast database by visiting http://localhost/gbrowse

NOTE: One problem with the RPM install is it currently installs gbrowse into it's own directory (e.g. /var/www/cgi-bin/gbrowse/). This means that the yeast example referenced in http://localhost/gbrowse should actually point to http://localhost/cgi-bin/gbrowse/gbrowse/yeast_chr1.
