#Installation sudo npm install illumina2bam-tools -g

OR

git clone http://github.com/staliv/illumina2bam-tools.git
cd illumina2bam-tools
sudo npm install . -g

This will create links in the /usr/local/bin/ directory for the existing tools in this package.

##Settings /usr/local/lib/node_modules/illumina2bam-tools/settings.json

• specify which directory contains the distributed jars from the illumina2bam project
• the scripts will automatically search for the jars by looking recursively one folder "up" from your current working directory (when invoking for example the illumina2bam_demultiplex_wrapper)
• the scripts will try to write to the settings.json file but they will fail (somewhat gracefully) as long as the scripts aren't running as a user with write permissions to the /usr/local/lib/node_modules/illumina2bam-tools/ directory
• specify the directory where your jars are located (in the settings.json file) in order to speed up the process
