Installation¶

Before your start¶

MHAP requires a recent version of the JVM (1.8u6+). JDK 1.7 or earlier will not work. If you would like to build the code from source, you need to have the JDK and the Maven build system available.

Prerequisites¶

java (1.8u6+)

maven (3.0+)

If you have not already installed the dependencies using maven, you will need an internet connection to do so during maven installation.

Here is a list of currently supported Operating Systems:

Mac OSX (10.7 or newer)
Linux 64-bit (tested on CentOS, Fedora, RedHat, OpenSUSE and Ubuntu)
Windows (XP or newer)

Installation¶

Pre-compiled¶

The pre-compiled version is recommended to users who want to run MHAP, without doing development. To download a pre-compiled tar run:

$ wget https://github.com/marbl/MHAP/releases/download/v2.0/mhap-2.0.tar.gz

And if wget not available, you can use curl instead:

$ curl -L https://github.com/marbl/MHAP/releases/download/v2.0/mhap-2.0.tar.gz > mhap-2.0.tar.gz

Then run

$ tar xvzf mhap-2.0.tar.gz

Source¶

To build the code from the release:

$ wget https://github.com/marbl/MHAP/archive/v2.0.zip

If you see a certificate not trusted error, you can add the following option to wget:

$ --no-check-certificate

And if wget not available, you can use curl instead:

$ curl -L https://github.com/marbl/MHAP/archive/v2.0.zip > v2.0.zip

You can also browse the https://github.com/marbl/MHAP/tree/v2.0 and click on Downloads.

Once downloaded, extract to unpack:

$ unzip v2.0.zip

Change to MetAMOS directory:

$ cd MHAP-2.0

Once inside the MetAMOS directory, run:

$ maven install

This will compile the program and create a target/mhap-2.0.jar file which you can use to run MHAP. The quick-start instructions assume you are in the target directory when running the program. You can also use the target/mhap-2.0.tar file to copy MHAP to a different system or directory. If you would like to run the validation utilties you must also download and build the SSW Library. Follow the instructions on the utilities page.
