Vibha will lead us through a lab using BLAST; Microsoft refused to give us access to SLAM, since it is now included as part of their driver verification kit. While we were unable to get the BLAST gui to work, Vibha has succeeded in getting the command-line tool installed and working in her UNIX home directory. You'll need to configure your path to use her stuff and create a working directory for the lab examples.

To simplify things a hair, I've created two scripts. The first, blast-setup, makes the directories you'll need and copies the files over. The second, blast-lab, configures your UNIX path correctly to run the tools.

Log into any of the CS interactive machines (either the Solaris or Linux machines) and issue the following:

/uf22/maa2q/blast-setup

Verify that this created the directory "blast_lab" by issuing

ls

You only have to do this once.

When you get to class (or if you want to test blast in the meantime), log into one of the power nodes and issue:

source /uf22/maa2q/blast-lab

That will configure your path. You have to do this each time you log into the machine. If you don't run bash, you're out of luck and will have to figure out how to configure your path on your own.
