Changing the installation path
By default, bioapi will install numerous files in /usr/local/{bin,lib,include}, including files with "self-explanatory" names such as /usr/local/bin/Sample. To prevent this pollution:
- Create a dedicated directory,say, /opt/bioapi .
- Append --prefix=/opt/bioapi to the ./configure command of bioapi
- Append /opt/bioapi/bin to $PATH and /opt/bioapi/lib to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- Edit the install path in install.sh of the driver
