Installation

ExpansionHunter Denovo is designed for Linux and macOS operating systems. Compiled binaries can be downloaded from the releases page. Alternatively, the program can be built from source following the instructions below.

Building from source

Prerequisites:

  • GCC or clang compiler supporting C++11 standard

  • CMake version 3.10 or above

  • Libraries zlib, bzip2, liblzma along with their development files; these can be installed on Ubuntu Linux like so:

    sudo apt install zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev liblzma-dev

  • Active internet connection (to automatically download Boost libraries)

Once the above prerequisites are satisfied the program can be built as follows:

cd ExpansionHunterDenovo/
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../source
make

If the build procedure succeeds, the build directory will contain the ExpansionHunterDenovo binary file.
