Comand-line Installation
Use the ActiveState ppm-shell:
- Open a cmd window by going to Start >> Run and typing 'cmd' and pressing return.
- Do
C:> ppm-shell ppm>
- Make sure you have the module PPM-Repositories. Try installing it:
ppm> install PPM-Repositories
- For BioPerl 1.6.1, we require at least the following repositories. You may have some present already.
ppm> repo add http://bioperl.org/DIST ppm> repo add uwinnipeg ppm> repo add trouchelle
- Because you have installed PPM-Repositories, PPM will know your Perl version, and select the correct repo from the table above.
- Install BioPerl (not "bioperl").
ppm> install BioPerl
If you are running ActiveState Perl 5.10, you may have a glitch involving SOAP::Lite. Use the following workaround:
- Get the index numbers for your active repositories:
ppm> repo │ id │ pkgs │ name │ │ 1 │ 11431 │ ActiveState Package Repository │ │ 2 │ 14 │ bioperl.org │ │ 3 │ 291 │ uwinnipeg │ │ 4 │ 11755 │ trouchelle │
- Execute the following commands. (The session here is based on the above table. Substitute the correct index numbers for your situation.)
rem -turn off ActiveState, trouchelle repos ppm> repo off 1 ppm> repo off 4 rem -to get SOAP-Lite-0.69 from uwinnipeg... ppm> install SOAP-Lite rem -turn ActiveState, trouchelle back on... ppm> repo on 1 ppm> repo on 4 rem -now try... ppm> install BioPerl
