MUSCLE 2 Installation

The recent bundle of MUSCLE can be downloaded from the Downloads section. The bundled package contains the source code, documentation and precompiled Java archives (jar). We maintain a list of clusters where MUSCLE is already deployed.

Dependencies

In order to use the MUSCLE, you need

a recent Java runtime, either Oracle-Java or Open-JDK.
Ruby
The CMake build system.

For the MUSCLE Transport Overlay, to communicate between different clusters,

Boost.

Installation of dependencies on a Debian flavored Linux

Run

sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake ruby libboost-dev

to install all dependencies at once.

Installation of dependencies on Scientific Linux 5.6

To install all dependencies in a single command, run

sudo yum install ruby gcc-c++ cmake jdk curl

Note: you may need to add the reference to the repository with extra packages. To do this create the file 'epel.repo' in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory. The content of the file may look as follows:

[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 5 - $basearch 
 
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/$basearch
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=$basearch
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Installation of dependencies on Mac OS X

Most dependencies are installed when installing Xcode. In Xcode 4, the command-line tools are installed by opening Preferences -> Downloads and pressing Install for "Command-line tools". For Boost and CMake, download the packages on their website or use an installation manager like HomeBrew or MacPorts. With HomeBrew?, you can run

brew install boost cmake

Remainder of the installation

If your ruby version is 1.8.x:

ruby --version

then it is necessary to install json with the following command

sudo gem install json

When the dependencies are in place, you are ready to build and install MUSCLE. Download the muscle bundle from Downloads section, or from the command-line. Then unzip the folder, go to the build directory inside and run the build.sh command.

curl -#O http://apps.man.poznan.pl/trac/muscle/downloads/MUSCLE-2.0.0rc2-sources.zip
unzip MUSCLE-2.0.0rc2-sources.zip
cd MUSCLE-2.0.0rc2-sources/build

sudo ./build.sh

This installs MUSCLE in /opt/muscle. For another location, add this as the first argument to build.sh.

The command

source /opt/muscle/etc/muscle.profile

should always be run before executing MUSCLE. It can help to put this command in ~/.bashrc so that it runs at login.

Finally, see if MUSCLE is working correctly:

muscle2 --version
