Hmmer

Automatic Build

Inside ${HOME}/bioit/apps/hmmer/SPEC there is a script called build. This just requires the version number and will download, compile, install and create the modulefile for you. Execute it as follows:

${HOME}/bioit/apps/hmmer/SPEC/build 3.4

When that completes check that the new version is available using:

module avail hmmer

If that shows as being there you can test it works with:

module load hmmer/3.4
which hmmalign
hmmalign -h 

If all is good, you can move to the RPM building step.

Manual Build

Download the source tarball from here into /opt/bioit/hmmer/src, untar it and cd into the resulting directory then run the following:

./configure --prefix=/opt/bioit/hmmer/3.4
make
make install
cd easel
make install

Module setup

Add a module file in /opt/bioit/modulefiles/hmmer/ for this version by copying previous ones and modifying the paths.

#%Module 1.0
#
#  hmmer module for use with 'environment-modules' package:
#
prepend-path  PATH         /opt/bioit/hmmer/3.4/bin/
prepend-path  MANPATH      /opt/bioit/hmmer/3.4/share/man/

RPM

There’s a SPEC file for this package in ${HOME}/bioit/apps/hmmer/SPEC so modify that with the new version details. Once changed, build it with the following command:

rpmbuild -bb hmmer.spec

This will create an installable RPM file which you can find in ${HOME}/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64 and just install that. It checks that the installation directory exists and will fail if it isn’t there.
