Installation

Notes from the sysadmin during installation:

$ cd /tmp
$ wget https://github.com/rrwick/Unicycler/archive/v0.4.7.zip
$ unzip v0.4.7.zip
$ cd Unicycler-0.4.7
$ sudo yum install centos-release-scl
$ sudo yum install devtoolset-6-gcc.x86_64 devtoolset-6-gcc-c++.x86_64 python36 python36-setuptools
$ scl enable devtoolset-6 bash
$ sudo mkdir -p /export/apps/unicycler/0.4.7
$ sudo chown aorth /export/apps/unicycler/0.4.7
$ python36 setup.py install --prefix=/export/apps/unicycler/0.4.7
$ sudo chown -R root:root /export/apps/unicycler/0.4.7

The devtoolset is used because Unicycler requires a GCC compiler newer than 4.9.1.
