You can try to run MARNA on your local machine. I have written a preliminary version which is executable on my machine and hopefully on your machine as well. I use a 2.8 GHz Pentium IV machine, kernel version 2.6. OS: Suse Linux 9.2. If you have a similar machine and if you have installed T-Coffee, the RNA Vienna Package and RNAshapes then the chances are great that MARNA runs fully on your local machine.

  • Install tcoffee such that it can be run globally from any directory
  • Install Vienna RNA package (RNAfold/RNAsubopt) and/or RNAshapes such that it can be run globally from any directory
  • Download MARNA-100729.tar.gz.
  • Unpack it with 'tar -xzf MARNA-100729.tar.gz'
  • Change the unpacked source directory with 'cd MARNA'
  • Check install notes and further information in file 'INSTALL.readme' (e.g. with 'less INSTALL.readme')
  • Compile with 'make'
Then test it with './marna.pl test.efasta'.

Reports are welcome !
