NAME

setup_dkbench - DKbench Perl Benchmark utility setup script

DESCRIPTION

This is a setup script, part of the Benchmark::DKbench distribution.

Refer to the distribution POD for more information on the DKbench suite.

SYNOPSIS

Simple setup script to check/get the reference versions of CPAN modules and download the Genbank data file required for the BioPerl benchmarks of the DKbench suite.

setup_dkbench [options]

Options:
--sudo   : Will use sudo for cpanm calls.
--force  : Will install reference CPAN module versions and re-download the genbank data.
--test   : Will run the test suites for the CPAN module (default behavior is to skip).
--data=s : Data dir path to copy files from. Should not need if you installed DKbench.
--help   : Print this help text and exit.

If you don't match the recommended Perl and CPAN module versions, the benchmarks may show 'Fail' under Pass/Fail and scores may not be comparable to the baseline. This might be perfectly fine for your purposes - in fact it might be intended if you are benchmarking to compare different software instead of hardware.

This installer assumes you have at least gunzip, File::Fetch and cpanm already installed (curl -L https://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo App::cpanminus).

You will also need to have a build enviroment set up (compiler, make etc). If you want to add a couple of optional BioPerl bencharks you'd want an XML library in addition. Example command to do that with the package manager for CentOS/RedHat would be: sudo yum install gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel make perl-XML-LibXML perl-XML-Parser, while for Debian/Ubuntu etc: sudo apt install build-essential libxml-simple-perl.

Note that the suite can be installed to as low as perl 5.12, however if you have a perl version lower than 5.14 make sure you install IO::Socket::IP 0.41 or lower first.
