I've installed phylip on Athena for Sun and Linux machines. phylip
(Phylogeny Inference Package) is a collection of separate command-line
programs for inferring phylogenies (evolutionary trees). It can infer
phylogenies by parsimony, compatibility, distance matrix methods and
likelihood.
To run it:
add phylip
program (program is one of the collection programs- see docs for names)
generally a data file named "intree" or "infile" is required as input
in the current directory; output is produced in files "outfile" and
"outtree" in the same directory.
drawtree and drawgram additionally require a font file in the current
directory; a number are supplied with the distribution, and a suitable
one can be copied from the /mit/phylip_v3.66/fonts directory to the
current directory and renamed "fontfile".
Documentation starts at http://web.mit.edu/phylip_v3.66/www/phylip.html and
has examples illustrating the syntax and I/O format for the various utilities.
