Obtaining It

Introduction

bioCity is currently available in source form only (the only useful form currently) and can be obtained by going to the project download page. But don't leave before you know how to use it!

Setting It Up

If you run Ubuntu you can install the prerequisites via the command:

sudo aptitude install libgsl0-dev libgsl0 libg20 libg2-dev build-essential

Then uncompress the source archive and open a terminal in the directory that you uncompressed the files to. Type:

make

And it ought to compile. If it doesn't, please give me a shout and I'll try to fix it. Once it is compiled, type "./bioc" in the current directory to run.

If you don't have the libraries above in your package manager then you'll need to install them manually. Here are their websites:

  1. GNU Scientific Library
  2. g2 Grapical Library

Hacking

I encourage anyone interested to hack away. The source code is available above but it is kept under git version control and a public repository is available. See this for more information.
