Description
This is a page about getting started with GMOD. If you want to set up your own model organism database, this is a good place to start. However if all you want is a specific component like GBrowse, Apollo or CMap, you would be better off to visit the pages for those applications. There is also a page that talks about Getting Started with Chado if you think you need a relational database.
Getting Advice
If you need advice you can write to one of a number of GMOD mailing lists. Another good resource is the GMOD Help Desk - feel free to write them with questions on any type, they are tasked with providing support to newcomers and experts alike.
Documentation
- GMOD Components - a list of the components that make up GMOD
- GMOD for the Biologist
Installation
There are different ways to install the subset of GMOD components needed to get a working model organism database.
Using yum on Unix
One easy way assumes that you have a brand new computer with Fedora Core 2 installed so that you can take advantage of several 'short cut' packages that have been prebuilt for that operating system and are available from biopackages.net.
Installing from Source
The hard way is for any other OS and requires just about everything to be built from source.
Contacts
There are number of GMOD or GMOD-related mailing lists, each focused on a particular component.
If you have more general questions a good mailing list is gmod-schema or contact the GMOD Help Desk, this Help Desk has been created with a particular aim of assisting those who are new to GMOD - write the Help Desk at wg-emod@nescent.org.
