I'm using perlbrew
and I would like to install the latest bioperl version. Should I use cpanm
or git
?
If git
- do I just install as usual (AKA git clone ...
then make and build), or should I do anything special?
UPDATE
Specifically, I'm not sure I understand the following expert from BioPerl Using Git manual:
Tell perl where to find BioPerl (assuming you checked out the code in $HOME/src; set this in your .bash_profile, .profile, or .cshrc):
bash: $ export PERL5LIB="$HOME/src/bioperl-live:$PERL5LIB" tcsh: $ setenv PERL5LIB "$HOME/src/bioperl-live:$PERL5LIB"
Why is this necesary?
UPDATE 2
Simply exporting the bioperl cloned dir does not effect all the bp_***.pl
scripts (which are usually found under /usr/bin/
after a normal Build
installation).
I also tried to build from the cloned dir after switching to the correct perl version using perlbrerw
, but then it runs cpan shell to install some dependencies which does not seem to work well with perlbrew
(as opposed to cpanm
).
So, my question remains...
Thanks!
