### How to install bgx

## Windows binary
1) Start R and install the basic Bioconductor packages:
  > source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
  > biocLite()

2) Install the bgx package:
  > biocLite("bgx")

## From source
1) Install the Boost development libraries (http://boost.org). Tips:
  - Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libboost-dev
  - Fedora: sudo yum install boost-devel
  - Mac OS X (Macports): sudo port install boost

2) Start R and install the required and suggested Bioconductor packages:
  > source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
  > biocLite()
  > biocLite(c("hgu95av2cdf"))

3) Install the bgx package:
  - From Bioconductor:
    > biocLite("bgx")

  - From source tarball:
    > install.packages("bgx_<version>.tar.gz",repos=NULL,type="source")

    If you have the boost libraries in non-standard directory, specify this in configure.args:
    > install.packages("bgx_<version>.tar.gz",repos=NULL,type="source",configure.args="--with-boost=/path/to/boost")

    where <version> is the bgx version and
    /path/to/boost is the path to the boost library
