New and Easier Way to Update TASSEL Standalone Software

Submitted by admin on Fri, 07/13/2012 - 15:25

Many users download the TASSEL standalone zip distributions instead of using the web site launch links.  This is primarily, so that the maximum heap size available to the application can be increased (by editing either start_tassel.pl or run_pipeline.pl). Unfortunately, that is a static image and becomes out of date quickly requiring frequent downloads of the standalone zip.  TASSEL developers have come up with a solution to that problem using a sourceforge Git repository.  If you have Git installed on your machine, you can simply do this...

Execute this once to setup:

git clone git://tassel.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/tassel/tassel4.0_standalone

Then this each week to update...

git pull

See this document for additional details.
