Installing Dependencies
SeqAn can optionally make use of ZLIB and BZip2. This is relevant mostly for Input/Output. Depending on your operating system you may need to install extra packages of these libraries or their headers.
GNU/Linux
It depends on your distribution whether these packages are installed by default or not.
On Debian, Ubuntu, Mint and similar distributions:
# sudo apt install zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev
Mac and BSD
Nothing needs to be done, the libraries and their headers are pre-installed.
Windows
The downloadable contribs contain precompiled library binaries (zlib, libbz2) for Windows by the supported compilers.
Previous contribs packages are available here.
Now, extract the downloaded ZIP file either to C:\Program Files or C:\.
After downloading the 64 bit variant, you should now have a folder named C:\Program Files\seqan-contrib-D20200923-x64 or a folder named C:\seqan-contrib-D20200923-x64.
