How to download SummTriver?
There are two ways to download SummTriver using either GitHub or Docker. In the following subsections we explain more about both methods.
This method is useful if you have already Perl installed or want to install it on your computer. To download SummTriver you can:
- On the main page of SummTriver, click on the green button "Clone or download" and then click on "Download as ZIP"
- If Git is installed on your computer, you can type
git clone https://github.com/creat89/SummTriver.git - You can use this link
You might need to install the following Perl dependencies:
All depends on your Perl installation. The easiest (but sometimes riskier) way to do it, is through CPAN, which finds and install automatically the modules and their dependencies. Here is a tutorial of how to use CPAN. However, the dependencies might break after Perl is updated. In some Linux distributions, such as ArchLinux or Debian, the distribution repository contains multiple Perl packages that can be easily installed and will not break after a Perl update.
If installing Perl in your computer is difficult or you just want to use SummTriver without installing Perl and its dependencies, Docker is your best option. Docker allow us creating and shipping a runnable version of SummTriver with everything installed and ready to use.
To use this version first you need to install Docker. Then, on the command line you need to type:
docker pull creat89/summtriver
It should be indicated that the Docker version (~200MB) is larger than the GitHub version (~500KB). The reason is that the Docker container has a small Linux with Perl and its dependencies. As well, there are some constrains that Docker might need in order to run.
