Welcome to the EUROCarb project! The Eurocarb project is an EU-funded initiative for the development of software for the collection, processing, and analysis of carbohydrate structures and experimental data. The project includes various standalone carbohydrate tools and resources, as well as a unifying web-based application. The canonical public version of Eurocarb is available at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/eurocarb The epicentre of development of Eurocarb revolves around http://code.google.com/p/eurocarb Licensing --------- All code and data in this distribution is licensed under the terms of the open source Lesser Gnu Public License version 3.0 (LGPL), which is included in this distribution. See LICENSE.txt for details. As a courtesy, if you download/use/extend the source version we'd love to hear to about it. Documentation ------------- The best place to start is the googlecode project wiki, at http://code.google.com/p/eurocarb Requirements ------------ Installation and compilation of Eurocarb requires Java version 1.5+ (http://java.sun.com), Ant (http://ant.apache.org), and the open source relational database PostgreSQL version 7.3+ (http://postgres.org). How to create a local/private version ------------------------------------- These instructions are for the code + data. If you just want the data, check the wiki and downloads area at http://code.google.com/p/eurocarb/downloads/list At present, the best way to get Eurocarb is to checkout a source version and build it locally. The choices are: 1) Checkout a release branch. Work out which branch you want first by surfing to http://code.google.com/p/eurocarb/source/browse/#svn/branches, then: > svn checkout http://eurocarb.googlecode.com/svn/branches/[version-you-want] eurocarb-[version] 2) Checkout the main development branch. Note that while this is always the most up-to-date version, it may be unstable from time-to-time. > svn checkout http://eurocarb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk eurocarb-trunk Note that in both cases these will be read-only checkouts. You'll need to have a google account and be accepted by one of the project admins as a project developer in order to be able to commit changes back to the project.
