Installing GenePalette
Introduction to Basic Functions
Retrieving a sequence from GenBank (coming soon!)
Tips on installing GenePalette:
1. You need to download java to get the program to work:
https://www.java.com/en/download/help/download_options.html
2. You must unzip the file downloaded – java will not launch GenePalette.jar from a zipped archive
3. Users must move the GenePalette directory to their home directory or another directory that the user has write access to. It often will not work from the Desktop, Downloads, or Applications
4. On a Mac, you need to “right-click” or “control-click” to open GenePalette.jar for the first time. This gives permission to the operating system to launch a .jar file downloaded from the internet
5. On a PC, you may have to use the command line to launch GenePalette.jar:
*Go the the Command Prompt program (search for DOS in the Microsoft menu (four box Microsoft icon in the lower left hand corner)
*change directories to the main GenePalette directory (you can type in “dir” and press enter to see the contents of your current directory to make sure the name of the GenePalette directory is correct):
cd GenePalette
*launch the .jar from the command line:
java -jar GenePalette.jar
One can construct a .bat file to perform these command line tasks.
