1. Introduction
a) high-level description of what will be taught in the workshop
2. Installation
System Requirements
In order to run the PhyloNet toolkit, you must have Java 1.6.0 or later installed on your system. All references to the java command assume that Java 1.6 is being used.
Downloading phylonet.jar
Acquire the current release of PhyloNet by downloading the most recent version of the PhyloNet JAR file. You will have a file named PhyloNet_X.Y.Z.jar
, where X is the major version number and Y and Z are the minor version numbers.
Installing the file
Place the jar file in the desired installation directory. The remainder of this document assumes that it is located in $PHYLONET PATH/jar
. Installation is now complete. In order to run PhyloNet, you must execute the file PhyloNet_X.Y.Z.jar
, as described in the next section.
