software download on a remote server

[mmmm]

how to install software to a remote server. I access the server from windows laptop using Putty and move folders/files to the server using WinScp-

Now, what are the steps that I should follow to download a software (for example, velvet http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~zerbino/velvet/) to the remote server

[GenoMax]

Log into the remote server. Do the following (but do check the manual info for wget/curl commands, i.e. $ man wget ) to download the velvet package.

$ wget [url]http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~zerbino/velvet/velvet_1.2.10.tgz (or replace with the actual link for whatever you are trying to download[/url]

or

$curl [url]http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~zerbino/velvet/velvet_1.2.10.tgz[/url] (or replace with the actual link for whatever you are trying to download)

This is only a small part of the actual install process.

Since you do not seem to have administrative rights on the server it would save you a whole lot of trouble if you can request the administrator(s) to install whatever it is that you want to use.

thank you very much- velvet is now downloaded using:

$ wget http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~zerbino/velvet/velvet_1.2.10.tgz

then I tried to unzip it using:

$ tar -zxvf velvet_1.2.10.tgz

(and now I have velvet_1.2.10)_ a very simple question, how to use velvet now? (as it is my first time to install a software), I can easily use the already installed software via (module load software) but do not know how could I use velvet (which I have just installed as "module load velvet" dose not work??

You'll make your life easier if you go through a tutorial on how to use Linux from the command line. In brief, though, you need to update the PATH with something like:

export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/the/directory/with/velvet"

There are other (better!) ways to do this (namely creating ~/bin, putting executables in there and then permanently adding that to your PATH by modifying .bashrc), but the above example is probably easier for a one-off use. BTW, "/path/to/the/directory/with/velvet" will need to be changed to the actual path to where velvet is installed, in case that wasn't apparent (it probably wasn't if you've never used Linux before ).

Don't think that's going to do it as the manual implies that there are no binaries, but velvet has to be compiled first. mmmm, in general you have to read the manuals of the programs you intend to install/use. More often than not they tell you exactly what needs to be done..

Suckage, I'd hoped that the OP had downloaded a package containing the binary.

I merely access any detailed idea about it but I think before software download on a remote server one need to First install Unified Remote Server on the related computer. This will allow the device to connect and communicate with the PC on the home network. This requires Windows and .NET Framework 4 as well.
