mpiBLAST is a parallelization of BLAST that searches a query sequence consisting of nucleotides (DNA) or peptides (amino acids) against a database of nucleotide or peptide sequences.

The notation denotes a variable (such as directory name, file name, user name, etc.) that user has to substitute.

If a backslash (\) appears in a shell command, then it should be treated as a line continuation, i.e., it could be ignored if the user types in the shell command.

ROCKETCALC provides a shell script (along with source code) that installs mpiBLAST. The following are the steps to install mpiBLAST using the shell script.

  • Download the file mpiblast-1.2.1-1-rocketcalc.tar.bz2.
  • Unpack the tarball file:
    tar jxf mpiblast-1.2.1-1-rocketcalc.tar.bz2
    This will create directory mpiblast-1.2.1-1-rocketcalc.
  • Change directory to mpiblast-1.2.1-1-rocketcalc:
    cd mpiblast-1.2.1-1-rocketcalc
  • Become root:
    su
    The user has to enter the root password. This step is not necessary. A regular user may install mpiBLAST.
  • The user should move (or delete) old mpiBLAST installation if he/she is planning to install it in the same location. The shell script will install mpiBLAST in
    /mpiblast/1.2.1
    The default value for is /usr/local.
  • Run the installation script:
    ./mpiblastinstall
    This script will ask the user few questions and then will compile and install mpiBLAST.
