Installation

Requirements

The current source tree requires:

• a Rust toolchain at version 1.88 or newer;
• Git;
• a C toolchain and the usual system build tools used by Rust dependencies.

Build the pinned dependency set

Until tagged binary releases are published, clone the repository and build with its committed lockfile:

git clone https://github.com/COMBINE-lab/seqproc.git
cd seqproc
cargo build --release --locked
./target/release/seqproc --version

Using --locked prevents Cargo from silently selecting dependency versions other than those recorded in Cargo.lock.

To put the local build on your path:

install -Dm755 target/release/seqproc "$HOME/.local/bin/seqproc"

Make sure $HOME/.local/bin is present in PATH, or invoke the binary by its full path.

Optional allocator builds

For controlled performance experiments, allocator features are forwarded to the ANTISEQUENCE backend:

cargo build --release --locked --features mimalloc
# or
cargo build --release --locked --features jemalloc

Use the default build unless you are benchmarking allocator behavior. Record the selected feature, compiler, target, and commit whenever results will be compared.

Confirm the installation

seqproc --help
seqproc run --help

You should see the run, validate, and explain commands. Continue with the quick start.
