  • help to install 'FAR - The Flexible Adapter Remover' on Mac OS

    can you please show me how to install FAR on Mac OS?
    I was not able to install it when I followed the instructions in Readme.txt
    Free, secure and fast downloads from the largest Open Source applications and software directory - SourceForge.net

    Thanks
    Joseph

    Maybe report what errors you encountered...?

      these are the instructions from Readme.txt:
      MacOSX: Copy the libtbb.dylib from ./lib into your lib searchpath.

      I copied ibtbb.dylib to /usr/local/bin
      but I am not able to figure out from the instructions what are the next steps after copying this file to /usr/local/bin.

      I tried to run it:
      far --adapters adapters.fasta --source test.fa --target test_result.fa --format fasta --log-level ALL --cut-off 4 --min-overlap 6
      -bash: far: command not found

      thanks

        I can't get it to run either. Seems there are either files missing and/or it's not compiled correctly for OSX...shame, seems like a cool utility!

          Guys, where's the OS X binary? Anyway, I'm trying to build my own TBB and FAR. Meanwhile, you should check if link path of libtbb.dylib is properly set:

          Code:
          $ otool -L libtbb.dylib
          The first line should be the path you want it to be (i.e. /usr/local/lib). You may change it by

          Code:
          $ install_name_tool -id /usr/local/lib/libtbb.dylib libtbb.dylib
          In precompiled far you should change it by issuing

          Code:
          $ install_name_tool -change /path/to/libtbb.dylib /usr/local/lib/libtbb.dylib far
          This hopefully should work (although it is hard to guess without the error you get).
          @joseph: your far installation should be in a directory in the PATH env variable :-)

            BTW, build from source works. If you need a precompiled binary I can provide one.

              yes, please send me a precompiled binary.
              Thank you.

                You can download it here. Uncompress in /usr/local:

                Code:
                sudo tar xvzf far.tgz -C /usr/local
                it should be working.

                  Hey dawe,

                  Thanks for uploading the binary - very helpful!

                    AFAIK it doesn't understand gzipped fastq. You should try with a subshell, i.e.
                    Code:
                    far -s <(zcat G676_subsampled.fastq.gz) -f fastq -o 6 -th 6 -a contaminants.fasta -t stdout

                      It works. Thank you.

                        I tried to install dawe's precompiled binary (Thanks for sharing!!!). It is for OSX correct?
                        I ran:
                        Code:
                        sudo tar xvzf far.tgz -C /usr/local
                        Then I made a couple short test files if fasta format because it is the most simple.

                        And this is what I get:
                        Code:
                        $ far -s fartest.fasta -t fartestout.fa -f fasta -a IlluminaAdapters.fa
                        source file was set to fartest.fasta.

                        File format was set to FASTA
                        Will do demultiplexing and adapter removal...

                        Allowed number of uncalled bases was set to 0
                        Chosen scoring scheme: match = 3 ,mismatch = -3 ,gap opening = -20
                        Trimming from right end. 
                        Minimum required overlap: 10
                        Overlap will be treated as standard overlap. 
                        Segmentation fault
                        Not sure what a segmentation fault is, but could it be that the precompiled binary dawe posted isn't exactly right for my computer?

                              @All,
                              are you happy with FAR or are you using other tools for (illumina) adpator/quality clipping?
                              I am trying to figure out which is the "best" one, in terms of flexibility and good results.

                              Currently I am playing around with far (surely developed for Mac as the Makefile needs to be fixed for compiling on linux). It seems quite flexible, "verbose" and it works on PE data directly.

                              Sven

                                Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
