Make and Use program

Run

make

This command builds the libraries and two executables: alfy and alfy64. alfy is a 32-bit program and alfy64 is a 64-bit program. In general, alfy64 is used for large-scale data sets containing more than 5 x 10^8 bp, and alfy for smaller data sets.

If you would like to use alfy or alfy64 from any directory, include the path to these executables in you PATH variable, e.g:

PATH=${PATH}:$(HOME)/some-path/Alfy_XXX

or copy the executables to your bin directory.

To get the example data used in the tutorial, run

make data

which generates the directory data containing the data files.
