Unpacking

You will have downloaded the EMBOSS and EMBASSY packages to a suitable directory. For this example we will assume you have downloaded them to /packages so you should now have the following files (or similar) and maybe more packages in EMBASSY.


% ls
EMBOSS-1.0.0.tar.gz
PHYLIP-3.573c.tar.gz
MSE-0.0.4.tar.gz
TOPO-0.1.tar.gz
First unpack the EMBOSS distribution

% gunzip EMBOSS-1.0.0.tar.gz
% tar xf EMBOSS-1.0.0.tar
This will create a new directory, EMBOSS-1.0.0 or similar. You may wish to use tar xpf for unpacking EMBOSS.

Enter the EMBOSS directory


% cd EMBOSS-1.0.0
create a directory for the EMBASSY packages

% mkdir embassy
Now copy the EMBASSY packages to the EMBASSY directory

% cp ../MSE-0.0.4.tar.gz PHYLIP-3.573c.tar.gz \
   TOPO-0.1.tar.gz embassy
Go into the EMBASSY directory and unpack those packages.

% cd embassy

% gunzip MSE-0.0.4.tar.gz
% tar xf MSE-0.0.4.tar
and so on for each EMBASSY package.

Go back up one directory to the main EMBOSS package directory and prepare to start compilation.
