ACMI v1.0 installation guide (c) 2007 Frank DiMaio ACMI is distributed in two parts. The archive 'acmi-1.1.tar.gz' contains the source code, while 'nmerdb-1.0.tar.gz' contains the 5-mer database. Unzip both files to a convenient location. ACMI requires version 3.1.2 of the FFTW fast Fourier transform library. FFTW3 must be installed before compiling ACMI. The software and installation instructions for this library are available at http://www.fftw.org/. Once installed, edit lines 13 and 14 of ACMI's Makefile to point to FFTW's installation directory. Run 'make all' to build all the tools in the ACMI suite of programs. When any programs in the ACMI suite are run, use the environment variable "ACMI_NMERDB" to specify the folder containing the nmer database, e.g., using the C shell: > setenv ACMI_NMERDB "/usr/local/acmi/nmerlib"
