This file contains instructions for installing the
primer3 web interface (release 4.1.0). This interface
is provided strictly 'as-is'.

To install the web interface you will need:

a. primer3_core, which is written in C and which, at this
point, you must compile yourself. You can find links
to the C code for primer3_core from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/primer3.

b. primer3web-4.1.0.tar.gz (available
from http://sourceforge.net/projects/primer3)

c. The perl module CGI.pm (available from CPAN,
http://cpan.org, if it is not already available
in your perl installation).

1. gunzip and untar primer3web-4.1.0.tar.gz.
   ** This will put the constituent files in
   the current working directory.
   There will be 2 directories after gunzip and untar:
   html and cgi-bin.
   Copy all files in the html directory to your .../html or
   .../htdocs directory or equivalent.
   Copy all files in cgi-bin directory to your .../cgi-bin
   directory or equivalent.

2. Build primer3_core (anywhere) and copy or move it to
   the directory containing the files from cgi-bin of
   primer3web-4.1.0.tar.gz. In addition,
   confirm that the this directory contains the
   subdirectory primer3_config/.

(Background: running primer3_core requires the
directory primer3_config and its contents. This
directory is provided in
primer3web-4.1.0.tar.gz as ./cgi-bin/primer3_config/.
By default this primer3_config
needs to be in the current working directory when
primer3_core is executed.)

1. Depending on the structure of your web site you may
   have to adjust some of the URLs in the .htm
   .html, or .cgi files. You might have to fix the #!
   headers in the .cgi files to point to your perl.
