Problems when installing Grapes and Bio++ tools

Hi, I am trying to install Grapes (available here). I have already installed Bio++ using the instructions given here. The Bio++ installation goes off fine, but when I try to install Grapes using the following commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local ..
make make

I get the following errors:

 -- Found /bin/gzip compression program, using file extension .gz
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:67 (find_package):                      
By not providing "Findbpp-phyl.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "bpp-phyl",
but CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "bpp-phyl"
(requested version 12.0.0) with any of the following names:
bpp-phylConfig.cmake                                                  
bpp-phyl-config.cmake                                                 

Add the installation prefix of "bpp-phyl" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "bpp-phyl_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.
If "bpp-phyl" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
been installed.     

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I have tried changing $HOME/.local .. to the path where bpp-phyl is stored ($bpp_dir/sources) but I am getting the same error. Can anyone help?

Solved by downloading bpp-core, bpp-seq and bpp-phyl using sudo package manager.

Small nitpick. sudo is not a package manager. It is a program/command that gives your account temporary elevated security privileges (typically for superuser).
