InstallationΒΆ

Installing gFACs is quite easy since this program operates almost exclusively through perl scripts. So long as the files are copied over, basic gFACs should be operational so long as perl and bioperl libraries are available. gFACs is also very light so feel free to have multiple copies wherever you need it!

You can find gFACs on GitLab.

In order to download gFACs, follow these basic steps:

  1. Obtain the directory for gFACs from GitLab in whatever format you prefer:
../_images/Download_1.JPG
  1. Place the entire folder onto your system and extract components. You should have a screen that looks like this:
../_images/Download_2.JPG

  1. To test to see if it works, perform the simple command of:

    perl gFACs.pl

The command line manual should appear. If so, congratulations! If not, a common error that occurs is that bioperl libraries are not loaded. If you have issues, feel free to send an issue request on GitLab!
