The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a command line driven package management system for installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying and updating software packages. Each software package consists of an archive of files along with package information such as version, description etc. For more information about RPM see http://www.rpm.org/.
Ryan Golhar (Informatics Institute, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey) has built RPMs for EMBOSS 5.0.0 and related applications. They are available from
| http://informatics.umdnj.edu/BioRPMs/ |
or from the EMBOSS FTP site:
| ftp://emboss.open-bio.org/pub/EMBOSS/contrib/ |
Files under contrib/ are contributed to the EMBOSS project but are not part of the EMBOSS or EMBASSY distributions. Owing to the limited availability of test platforms, these contributions might not have been tested fully or even at all by the core EMBOSS developers. In case of difficulty, please contact the original author, in this case, Ryan Golhar.
The lists below are by no means comprehensive. If you know of other relevant links please email emboss-bug@emboss.open-bio.org with details.
Sites who have packaged EMBOSS may not have kept that package up to date.

This module is an interface to the libraries of the EMBOSS package.
With this module you can access EMBOSS databases and use EMBOSS functions to manipulate your data. You can write perl programs that look like any other EMBOSS program (command line, web interface).
The EMBOSS factory class encapsulates access to EMBOSS programs. A factory object allows creation of only known applications.
