== Obtaining the Software ==

SPANNER is available as a gzipped tarball, supported on *nix systems (Linux, Unix, Mac).

* [[Media:SPANNER.tar.gz|SPANNER v1.0.0 (gzipped tarball)]]

After downloading, uncompress the file and follow the installation instructions in the INSTALL.txt file. Additional instructions are located in the README.txt and MANUAL.txt files. To install the FCP under OS X, gcc must be installed which is available as part of the [http://developer.apple.com/technologies/tools/ Mac Developer Tools].

		+	Full instructions on using these reference LCA Profiles can be found in the README.txt file inside the tarball. Brief instructions for using these Profiles:
		+
		+	* These Profiles have not been trimmed to any ''p'' value, but instead include all BLASTp matches. In the SPANNER paper the reference Profiles were trimmed to the same ''p'' value as the query Profiles. The SPANNER tarball contains the Python script "trim_profiles_to_p.py" in the SCRIPTS directory to remove matches below a given ''p'' value. Running this script on the reference Profiles will greatly reduce the size of the reference dataset.
		+
		+	* In the SPANNER paper only the highest BLASTp match to any taxon was kept in a Profile, subsequent matches were removed. This was not done for these Profiles. The Python script "make_profiles_taxa_singletons.py" (also in the SCRIPTS directory) removes subsequent matches to already matched taxa, this script will reduce the size of the reference Profile dataset but is not necessary.
		+
		+	* The SPANNER paper also removed LCA Profiles with only one match, this was not done for these Profiles. The tarball contains the Python script "remove_singletons_from_profiles.py" in the SCRIPTS directory. This script should be run after "make_profiles_taxa_singletons.py" but again is not necessary for SPANNER to function. Reference Profiles with only one match should be removed if query profiles with only one match are removed (those query profiles should be classified using Best BLAST instead).
