[GeneX-dev] Re: GeneX installation

[Harry M. <man...@ho...>]

The part you copied in is not the entire document.  If you're not willing to read the WHOLE of BOTH the README and the INSTALL documents, then you probably shouldn't try to install this package.  It
is relatively straightforward, but it is NOT trivial.

Please READ the docs.  If you don't understand large parts, then you shouldn't install it, but if you installed and modified AMAD, then you should have no trouble with this.

GeneX requires a running PostgreSQL database and to have a database instantiated with the script referreed to below 'init-dump.pl'.  If you can't get that up and running, there's little point in
continuing.

And PLEASE post request to <gen...@li...>.  You'll get wider readership and help than if you post only to me.

Best wishes
Harry
