Download

El-MAVEN installers are available for Windows (7, 8, 10) and Mac. Download El-MAVEN latest version or daily build for your preferred environment.

Build

Contributers can build El-MAVEN on Windows, Ubuntu or Mac systems by following these instructions. Users are recommended to download the installers provided on the El-MAVEN website.

Windows

  • Download MSYS2 installer and follow the installation instructions provided on their website.

  • Open MSYS2 and give the following commands to set up libraries and tool chains for El-MAVEN. Reopen MSYS2 when required:

  • For 64 bit:
    pacman --force -Sy
    pacman --force -Syu
    pacman --force -Su
    pacman --force -Sy base-devel msys2-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5 mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-hdf5 mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-netcdf mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-boost msys/git

  • For 32 bit:
    pacman --force -Sy
    pacman --force -Syu
    pacman --force -Su
    pacman --force -Sy base-devel msys2-devel mingw-i686-toolchain mingw-i686-qt5 mingw32/mingw-i686-hdf5 mingw32/mingw-i686-netcdf mingw32/mingw-i686-boost msys/git

  • Open mingw64.exe from the MSYS2 folder and give the following commands:
    cd <PathToInstallationFolder> #for example: cd /c/User/Admin/Desktop
    git clone https://github.com/ElucidataInc/ElMaven.git
    ./run.sh
    ./bin/El_Maven_0.x #for example: ./bin/El_Maven_0.2

El-MAVEN loads with two windows: one for logging the application status and another El-MAVEN application window for data analysis.

Ubuntu

  • Open the terminal and give the following commands to set up libraries and tool chains for El-MAVEN. sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install g++
    sudo apt-get install qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev qtscript5-dev qtdeclarative5-dev libqt5webkit5-dev libsqlite3-dev libboost-all-dev lcov libnetcdf-dev cd <PathToInstallationFolder> #for example: user@pc:~$ cd Desktop/
    git clone https://github.com/ElucidataInc/ElMaven.git
    ./run.sh
    ./bin/El_Maven_0.x #for example: ./bin/El_Maven_0.2

El-MAVEN loads with two windows: one for logging the application status and another El-MAVEN application window for data analysis.

Mac

This is will give you the Qt5.6.2 dmg file. Using the dmg file install Qt under the directory /Users/Your_User_Name/

Using the terminal execute the following instructions

sudo xcodebuild -license accept

xcode-select --install

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

brew install boost brew install llvm@3.7 brew install netcdf

cd ~

touch .profile

echo "PATH=/Users/$USER/Qt5.6.2/5.6/clang_64/bin/:$PATH" > .profile

source .profile

mkdir ~/maven_repo

cd ~/maven_repo

git clone https://github.com/ElucidataInc/ElMaven.git

cd ElMaven

source ~/.profile

qmake CONFIG+=debug -o Makefile build.pro

make -j4

Switching versions

Users can switch between versions once they have compiled El-MAVEN successfully on their system. Follow these steps to pull a specific release:

  • Choose the version you wish to install from the list of releases. (We recommend the version tagged "Latest release". Pre-releases are not stable and should be avoided)
  • Find the version tag (v0.2.x, 0.1.x, etc) on the left of release notes.
  • Open your terminal and move to the installation folder
  • Give the following commands in the terminal:
    cd ElMaven
    ./uninstall.sh (to uninstall your current version)
    git checkout develop
    git pull
    git checkout v0.x.y (Eg. v0.1.5)
  • Build the new version using the following command:

For Windows and Ubuntu: ./run.sh

For Mac:
source ~/.profile

qmake CONFIG+=debug -o Makefile build.pro

make -j4

El-MAVEN features

Maven and El-MAVEN share following features:

  • Multi-file chromatographic aligner
  • Peak-feature detector
  • Isotope and adduct calculator
  • Formula predictor
  • Pathway visualizer
  • Isotopic flux animator

El-MAVEN is robust, faster and with more user friendly features compared to Maven.
