GBrowse2 - The Generic Genome Browser
libgbrowse-perl [-h]
If Apache2 is installed on the system, the software has configured
it to link URLs to GBrowse directories. A restart of Apache is required to
take it into account. Configuration is available in
/etc/gbrowse2/apache2.conf file.
If another web server is used, one should refer to the apache2 template to
map urls in the same way.
Additional optional perl dependencies exist to provide additional features. Please refer to Optional modules in INSTALL file for more information.
gbrowse2 Configuration files are located in /etc/gbrowse.
Main configuration file is GBrowse.conf. It contains the global
configuration elements. Specific configuration files are located in the same
directory per data bank. For more details, one should refer to the GBrowse
documentation.
Installation is provided with a Yeast genome sample.
