Debian installation

These instructions are for Ubuntu 9.04

To start, download either the regular or development version of AMOS.

i/ The regular AMOS version is available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/amos/files/, e.g.:

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/amos/files/amos/2.0.8/amos-2.0.8.tar.gz/download

ii/ The development version of AMOS is in a CVS repository. To get it, run:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@amos.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/amos co -P AMOS

In the directory where the AMOS file are located, run the following to install the prerequisites:

sudo aptitude install ash coreutils gawk gcc automake mummer mummer-doc libboost-dev

For the Hawkeye component of AMOS, you need Qt3:

sudo aptitude install libqt3-headers

For the standard version of AMOS, skip to next step, but for the CVS development version, first, run:

./bootstrap

Then regardless of the version:

./configure --with-Qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3 --prefix=/usr/local/AMOS
make
make check
sudo make install
sudo ln -s /usr/local/AMOS/bin/* /usr/local/bin/

Now all the programs shipped in AMOS should be available from the command-line. For example try:

Minimo -h
