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.
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.
Basic usage¶
Currently the only practical way to use the PCSS protocol is via the web server.
