Install Hugeseq On Mac Os X Lion Desktop

Has anyone installed HugeSeq on Mac OS X Lion desktop?

next-gen

Please correct your link, you have an extra string in the url i.e. "HugeSeq"

Cheers

Are you having problems with the installation, or do you want to know how satisfactory someone finds it?

I would like to know whether HugeSeq runs on Mac OS X desktop.

It appears that the software that you link to consist of a large number shell scripts that in turn execute various other tools such as bwa, samtools, GATK etc. It also appears to require the Sun Grid engine.

I would guess that it will run just fine on a Mac but it also seems that since it consists of so many small interdependent pieces managing it will require substantial system administrator skills.

So probably easier to dual boot / virtual machine linux

Don't know virtual machine linux, need to learn about it. Is there a site where I can download linux virtual box for mac desktop?
