Installing EMBOSS on FreeBSD

A FreeBSD EMBOSS package has been created by Johann Visagie[*] of Electric Genetics. This will be distributed on the installation CD's and through the normal distribution channels from FreeBSD version 4.2 onwards.

For the FreeBSD user with an up-to-date ports tree[*], installing EMBOSS reduces to two simple commands (as root):


# cd /usr/ports/biology/emboss
# make install

The FreeBSD specific parts of the port are that emboss.default is included with the other configuration files under /usr/local/etc as emboss.default.sample, and the EMBOSS documentation is installed in /usr/local/share/doc/EMBOSS instead of the default location. For further information on installation under FreeBSD you are referred to the Resources chapter.
