Usage
Upcoming modulesystem change alert!
Due to large number of applications and their versions it is not practical to keep them explicitly listed at our wiki pages. Therefore an upgrade of modulefiles is underway. A feature of this upgrade will be the existence of default module for every application. This default choice does not need version number and it will load some (usually latest) version.
You can test the new version now by adding a line
source /cvmfs/software.metacentrum.cz/modulefiles/5.1.0/loadmodules
to your script before loading a module. Then, you can list all versions of paup and load default version of paup as
module avail paup/ # list available modules module load paup # load (default) module
If you wish to keep up to the current system, it is still possible. Simply list all modules by
module avail paup
and choose explicit version you want to use.
The installed version of PAUP expires every few months. If you need the latest version of this software, install it in your home directory or scratch dir within your batch job according to the following instructions.
- Download PAUP for Linux (Ubuntu 64-bit version for Debian machines is preferred).
wget http://phylosolutions.com/paup-test/paup4a168_ubuntu64.gz
Extract .gz file
gunzip paup4a168_ubuntu64.gz
Make it executable
chmod +x paup4a168_ubuntu64
Use PAUP
./paup4a168_ubuntu64
Optionally you can copy it into ~/bin directory and add a path to the executable binary to your variable $PATH
export PATH=/storage/XXX/home/USER/bin:"${PATH}"
