In order to build OpenCGA from source code, user should download the source code from github and build it. This build process is handled with maven. The following tools are required for successful build :
Stable releases are merged and tagged at master branch, users are encouraged to use latest stable release for production. Current active development is carried out at develop branch and need Java 8, only compilation is guaranteed and bugs are expected, use this branch for development or for testing new functionalities. Only dependencies of master branch are ensured to be deployed at Maven Central Repository, develop branch may require users to download and install other active OpenCB repositories:
User can download default develop branch by executing:
$ git clone https://github.com/opencb/opencga.git Cloning into 'opencga'... remote: Counting objects: 20267, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (219/219), done. remote: Total 20267 (delta 105), reused 229 (delta 35) Receiving objects: 100% (20267/20267), 7.23 MiB | 944.00 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (6363/6363), done. |
Latest stable release at master branch can be downloaded executing:
$ git clone -b master https://github.com/opencb/opencga.git Cloning into 'opencga'... remote: Counting objects: 20267, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (219/219), done. remote: Total 20267 (delta 105), reused 229 (delta 35) Receiving objects: 100% (20267/20267), 7.23 MiB | 812.00 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (6363/6363), done. |
OpenCGA can be compiled directly, just by executing mvn install -DskipTests, but some configuration files can be customized with the content of the file ~/.m2/settings.xml.
