You may use Subread package by directly downloading a binary release suitable for your operating system (no compilation is needed), or you may build it from the source. Here we describe how to install it from the source.
Download the latest version of Subread package from http://subread.sourceforge.net/. The source release includes a keyword 'source' in the name of the tar ball. Uncompress the tar ball, enter the 'src' directory and issue the following command to build it for Linux OS :
Download the latest version of Subread package from http://subread.sourceforge.net/. The source release includes a keyword 'source' in the name of the tar ball. Uncompress the tar ball, enter the 'src' directory and issue one of the following commands to build it.
*** for Linux OS, use command:
make -f Makefile.Linux
For Mac OS, use command:
*** For Windows, use command:
make -f Makefile.Windows
You need to have ``gcc" and ``make" in %PATH% to build the Windows-version of Subread. It is recommended to download and install Mingw-w64 before building Subread, for that Mingw-w64 contains all the necessary prorgams and libraries.
If you have had Mingw-w64 installed, you should use this command:
mingw32-make -f Makefile.Windows
Still, you need to make sure that mingw_64/bin, which contains mingw32-make.exe and gcc.exe, is in %PATH%. We strongly recommend to build the 64-bit version Subread programs (by using the 64-bit Mingw package) because the 32-bit version Subread programs have very limited memory access.

A new directory called \code{bin} will be created under the home directory of the software package, and the executables generated from the compilation are saved to that directory.
To enable easy access to these executables, you may copy them to a system directory such as \code{/usr/bin} or add the path to them to your search path (your search path is usually specified in the environment variable \code{`PATH'}).
