Automatic Build

Inside ${HOME}/bioit/apps/rtg-tools/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/rtg-tools/SPEC/build 3.13

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

module avail rtg-tools

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

module load rtg-tools/3.13
which rtg-tools
rtg-tools version

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

Manual Build

Download the linux-x64.zip file into /opt/bioit/rtg-tools/src and unzip it.

Move the unpackaged directory as follows:

mv rtg-tools-3.13 /opt/bioit/rtg-tools/3.13

Make sure you run /opt/bioit/rtg-tools/3.13/rtg once as build to set up the initial configuration file.

That should do it.

Module setup

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

#%Module 1.0
#
#  rtg-tools module for use with 'environment-modules' package:
#
prepend-path  PATH         /opt/bioit/rtg-tools/3.13

RPM

There’s a SPEC file for this package in ${HOME}/bioit/apps/rtg-tools/SPEC so modify that with the new version details found in the ReleaseNotes.txt file inside the install directory.

rpmbuild -bb rtg-tools.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.
