Caution
These documents refer to an obsolete way of installing and running FALCON. They will remain up for historical context and for individuals still using the older version of FALCON/FALCON_unzip.

Quick Start Guide¶
Installation¶
The quickest way to install FALCON + FALCON_unzip is to download and run this install script:
Install script | Tarball date | Status |
---|---|---|
install_unzip.sh |
3/12/2018 | |
install_unzip.sh |
8/08/2018 | Beta |
$ bash -ex install_unzip.sh /path/to/your/install/dir
Note
This will clone the FALCON-integrate repository, FALCON_unzip binaries, build a virtualenv and launch a small test case assembly to ensure successful installation.
samtools and minimap2 must be installed separately and in your $PATH.
If you don’t see any errors, you will have installed FALCON/FALCON_unzip and successfully assembled and unzipped a small test dataset. At this point you should be ready to confidently launch a larger genome assembly.
To activate your FALCON_unzip virtualenv in the future:
$ source /path/to/your/install/dir/fc_env/bin/activate
