• CMake version >= 2.8.8
  • Can be installed via homebrew: brew install cmake
• zlib (should be installed on OSX >= 10.9)

1. First clone the repository:

   git clone [email protected]:pimentel/kallisto.git
   

2. Move to the source directory:

   cd kallisto
   

3. Make a build directory and move there

   mkdir build
   cd build
   

4. Execute cmake. There are a few options:

   • -DBUILD_TESTING=ON builds tests (off by default)
   • -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=$HOME which will put kallisto in $HOME/bin as opposed to the default (/usr/local/bin)

   cmake ..
   

   This is only required when one of the CMakeLists.txt files changes or new source files are introduced. It will make a new set of Makefiles

5. Build the code

   make
   

   Optionally install into the cmake install prefix path:

   make install
   

6. Run the code. The source tree hierarchy is copied, so you can find kallisto at src/kallisto and tests at test/tests.

After performing these steps, you can simply build using make as long as new source files aren't introduced or the CMakeLists.txt scripts aren't modified.
