Chimera Installation Guide

We have developed and tested Chimera on Linux (Fedora cores, 2,3,4) but it should work on other Linux distributions.
After downloading the latest version of Chimera, copy the tarred-gzip file to the directory that you want Chimera to be installed in.
Go to the directory that you copied the file and run the following command:
tar -xvvzf chimera.tar.gz
This will create the chimera directory and all of its sub-directories in the current folder.
Chimera uses auto-conf tool, therefore compilation should be straightforward. Chang directory to the chimera and run the following commands to compile the code:
./configure --prefix='current directory'
make install
Note: The generic auto-conf installation instruction is included in INSTALL file in the chimera directory.
At this point you should have the compiled version ready to use. You can test your installation by running the test program under test directory.
