      To install BioPerl on a macOS system, you can follow these steps:

        1. Open the Terminal app on your macOS system.

        2. Install Homebrew if you haven't already installed it by entering the following command:

        3. Update Homebrew by entering the following command:

          brew update
        4. Install Perl by entering the following command:

          brew install perl
        5. Install cpanminus by entering the following command:

          brew install cpanminus
        6. Install BioPerl by entering the following command:

          cpanm BioPerl
        7. Verify the installation by running a BioPerl script or entering the following command to check the BioPerl version:

          perl -MBio::Perl -e 'print "$Bio::Perl::VERSION\n"'

        If there are any issues with the installation, you can try searching for solutions online or consulting the BioPerl documentation.

      Installing in CONDA env

      You can check using which perl - it should give you the perl that's located within your conda environment. In this case, it should install things into your conda-directory.

      When you install packages via cpan it will also print the folder perl is installing the package into.

      If you want to be extra-sure, you can also install most Perl packages via conda. Replace the ':' by '-', lower-case everything, and add 'perl-' to the beginning. In your case,

      conda install -c bioconda perl-lwp-simple
      

      this will definitely install into conda.

      If using conda

      conda create --name perlENV perl

      conda activate perlENV

      conda install -c bioconda perl-bundle-bioperl

      conda install -c bioconda perl-bioperl

  • Install Linux and learn command lines, make, bash. Start exploring the biological databases using ftp.
  • Jit answered the question What a bioinformatician should must know ? 4859 days ago
    There's a wide range of topics that are useful if you're interested in pursuing bioinformatics, and it's not possible to learn them all. However, in our conversations with scientists working at companies, we've picked up on the following "core...

    Bioinformatics= Sequencing NOW or more? #Omics
  • As a bioinformatician, we learn several progamming languages, complex biological mechanism, and many more. But, there have been always a curiosity to know that what should a bioinformatician MUST read and learn.
