Other requirements:
- Perl version 5.6 or later
- C compiler.
- SVM_classify
The SVM_classify is a part of the Joachim’s SVMlight package. The source code of the package is available at Joachim’s website .
Compile the SVMlight source code on your local machine that makes two executables, SVM_learn and SVM_classify. Copy the file SVM_classify and paste into the MAAP folder.
Also compile the C programs, calc_dipep_freq.c and calc_multiplet_freq.c and put the executables in the same folder.Now, the standalone version is ready to use.
For running MAAP, change to the MAAP directory and run the main Perl script run_maap.pl using the following command:
perl run_maap.pl
