#StringTie is a software program to perform transcript assembly and quantification of RNAseq data. The binary distributions are available so to install we can just download this distribution and extract it. Like with our other programs we also make a symlink to make it easier to find.
# download and extract
cd ~/workspace/bin
wget http://ccb.jhu.edu/software/stringtie/dl/stringtie-1.3.0.Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
tar -xzvf stringtie-1.3.0.Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
# make symlink
ln -s ~/workspace/bin/stringtie-1.3.0.Linux_x86_64/stringtie ~/workspace/bin/stringtie
# test installation
~/workspace/bin/stringtie -h
