Installing RELATE on Linux Mint

Overview

RELATE is a software package for estimating population genomic parameters from DNA sequencing data. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of RELATE on Linux Mint Latest.

Prerequisites

Before installing RELATE, ensure that your Linux Mint system has the following software pre-installed:

• Git
• CMake
• Python3
• Python3-pip
• Python3-setuptools
• Python3-venv

You can install these dependencies using the following command:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y git cmake python3 python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-venv

Installation

1. Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.

2. Clone the RELATE repository by running the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/related-sciences/Relate.git
   

3. Navigate to the RELATE directory by running the following command:

   cd Relate
   

4. Create a virtual environment by running the following command:

   python3 -m venv relate-venv
   

5. Activate the virtual environment by running the following command:

   source relate-venv/bin/activate
   

6. Install RELATE's Python dependencies by running the following command:

   pip3 install -r requirements.txt
   

7. Build and install RELATE by running the following command:

   mkdir build && cd build
