Important note
These directions will install a relatively old version of GBrowse (1.54 I think). To install a newer version, install the Apache webserver (httpd) and libgd with yum:
sudo yum install gd-devel
and then follow the directions on the main install page for using the net install script.
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 Finding updated packages 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.
