Installation

In the Sali Lab

If you are working in the Sali lab, you don’t need to build and install PCSS - it is already set up for you as a module. Just run module load pcss to load it.

Dependencies

All dependencies listed below are expected to be found in standard system paths. This may require setting PATH and/or LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables, or modifying the global parameter file. Note that Linux is the only platform on which PCSS has been tested.

• Perl.
• SVMlight.

In the Sali lab, running module load svm_light will get all of these dependencies.

Building

Use make install to install the library. In most cases you will need to tell make where to install (if running on a Linux cluster, PCSS will need to be installed on a network-accessible filesystem), with something like make PREFIX=/shared/pcss install. See Makefile.include for all make variables that can be configured.
