If you are a Linux user and want to quickly try out download the compiled binaries from the latest release. Note that currently the binary only runs on x86_64 platform.
For example:
VERSION=v1.6
wget "https://github.com/hasindu2008/f5c/releases/download/$VERSION/f5c-$VERSION-binaries.tar.gz"
tar xvf f5c-$VERSION-binaries.tar.gz
cd f5c-$VERSION/
./f5c_x86_64_linux # CPU version
./f5c_x86_64_linux_cuda # cuda supported version
Binaries should work on most Linux distributions as the only dependency is zlib which is available by default on most distributions. For compiled binaries to work, your processor must support SSSE3 instructions or higher (processors after 2007 have these) and your operating system must have GLIBC 2.17 or higher (Linux distributions from 2014 onwards typically have this).
You can also use conda to install f5c as conda install f5c -c bioconda -c conda-forge.
From f5c v1.6 onwards, experimental binaries for AMD GPUs are also provided under releases.
