#Gffcompare is a program that is used to perform operations on general feature format (GFF) and general transfer format (GTF) files. It has a binary distribution compatible with the linux we’re using so we will just download, extract, and make a symlink.
# download and extract
cd ~/workspace/bin
wget http://ccb.jhu.edu/software/stringtie/dl/gffcompare-0.9.8.Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
tar -xzvf gffcompare-0.9.8.Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
# make symlink
ln -s ~/workspace/bin/gffcompare-0.9.8.Linux_x86_64/gffcompare ~/workspace/bin/gffcompare
