installation of artemis on linux redhat

Hi, could any one tell me how to install ARTEMIS software onto Linux, I want to analyse some bacterial nucleotide sequence and also compare them to other sequences freely available.

Thank you

red-hat installation linux

Thank you, am new to bioinformatics and its softwares thats why.

Hey, I have tried first by setting up creating a java directory though am not the administrator on the computer, downloaded the java and tried to install it. but there are errors, do you have a step by step way i can do this as well as installing Artemis.

this is what I have done below

[EnviroCore@localhost java]$ tar zxvf jre-7u7-linux-x64.tar.gz
tar (child): jre-7u7-linux-x64.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

The "Cannot open: No such file or directory" should tell you what's wrong.

Any clues what I do wrong?

you sure you don't already have java on the system? Type java

Also for the tar, try xvf instead of zxvf. Make sure you have read/write permissions in your directory. Also, make sure that the file you are trying to decompress, is present in your working directory.
