Installation

For an installation simply extract the Bio7 *.zip file at your preferred location.

R

To use R within Bio7 you have to install R and the package Rserve from within R.
The paths to R have to be adjusted in the following Bio7 R preferences:

Preferences->Preferences Bio7
Preferences->Preferences Rserve

The default path to R on Linux is:
/usr/lib/R

Java

Bio7 Linux 1.7.1 comes with a bundled Jre (1.7.40) so you don’t have to install the latest Java.
The default reserved memory space for Java on the Linux OS is 1024mb.

A more detailed instruction can be found in the Bio7 documentation:
