Installation

  1. Install a fresh copy of Perl
On UNIX, Perl5 can be installed by following these instructions. It uses Perlbrew.
  1. To switch to the new Perl installation, you might need to run:
$ INSTALLER_PERL_VERSION=5.16.0
$ perlbrew switch perl-$INSTALLER_PERL_VERSION
  1. “Install” MIP
clone the official git repository
$ git clone https://github.com/henrikstranneheim/MIP.git
$ cd MIP
$ perl mip.pl -h

After this you can decide whether to make MIP an “executable” by either adding the install directory to the $PATH in e.g. “~/.bash_profile” or move all the files from this directory to somewhere already in your path like “~/usr/bin”. Remember to make the file(s) executable by chmod +x file.

  1. Dependencies
You need to make sure all depedencies are installed and loaded (See Setup). However, MIP should tell you if something is missing.
  1. To install the dependencies - use cpanm:
cpanm <dependency>
$ cpanm YAML
