Installing BioPerl on Fedora

For the generic instructions, see: Installing BioPerl on Unix.

Fedora

bioperl (1.5.2) and bioperl-run are official Fedora packages, available in Fedora 7 and later, known as perl-bioperl and perl-bioperl-run, respectively. To install simply run as root:

# yum install perl-bioperl

This will pull in all the necessary Perl dependencies. Alternatively the package can be installed via GUI package management front-ends, pirut (in F-8) and PackageKit (in F-9 and later), either by searching for bioperl, or browsing the Applications/Engineering group (see Pirut documentation and PackageKit documentation). Other bioperl subpackages such as bioperl-db and bioperl-network are not packaged as of 2008-06-04, but you are welcome to contact Alex Lancaster if you would like to help package or maintain these packages in Fedora.
