How to Install the Ensembl APIs (GIT or ftp)
In this tutorial, Andy (Ensembl Support Coordinator) shows how to install the Ensembl APIs using GIThub or a simple tarball from our ftp site. Follow along using the command line, on MacOSX or Linux. You can copy and paste commands from ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/ensembl/Helpdesk/API_GIT_video_script.txt … A good place to get started if you don’t yet have the Ensembl APIs and aren’t sure how to get them running.
