Hickory |
Software for analysis of geographic structure in genetic data |
The software is currentaly available only for Windows and Linux. We hope to make a Macintosh version available. The wxWidgets library, which provides the interface for the program, appears to be more robust than the last time we took a close look. We hope that a Macintosh (OS X) version will be forthcoming later this spring, but we can't make any promises.
You can download the software in several forms:
For Windows: You can download either a self-extracting executable that uses the standard Windows installer or a ZIP archive. The same files (including complete source code, if you select the "Full installation" option) will be found in both. We recommend using the self-extracting executable unless you encounter problems with it, because it will automatically install the program in your "Program Files" directory and create a shortcut in the "Start" menu.
There are several setup options available. Unless you are interested in studying the code or trying to compile it yourself (you'll need wxWidgets, Paul's NEXUS class library, which is from his software page, MCMC++, and the Boost C++ Library for that), you don't need to do the full installation.

For Linux: You can download a gzipped tarball that includes a GNOME X11 executable (compiled and linked with GCC v4.0 on Fedora Core 4) and complete source code. The binaries should work on any Linux with glibc v2.3.x or higher. Copy the downloaded file to any convenient directory and extract with the command:
tar -zxf hickory-1.1.tar.gz
This will create a directory "Hickory" under the current directory. You'll find the executable in that directory. The "build" subdirectory contains the Makefile, the "src" subdirectory contains the C++ source and associated resources, and the "documentation" and "sample" subdirectories contain what you would expect them to contain.
