bio-band

Data mining and machine learning algorithms for Ruby

Installation

Install the ‘jbundle’ gem and ‘bundle’ for JRuby before trying to install the ‘bio-band’ gem. Maven is also required for .jars automatic download and installation. On Ubuntu/Debian Maven should already be installed and on OSX system you can get it from Brew

If you want to use ‘bio-band’ APIs without installing the gem you need to run command ‘rake -T’ once before requiring the gem in your script (this is necessary for jbundler to download the ‘.jar’ files and subsequently set the Java classpath). Otherwise use:

gem install bio-band

Usage

See the Wiki section for in depth information on how to use this gem
