Download and installation
First, download the current release version of KEGG2SBML from SourceForge.net. The current release of KEGG2SBML at the time of this writing is version 1.5.0 (kegg2sbml-1.5.0.tar.gz), released on July 28, 2008.
After you've downloaded KEGG2SBML, extract the archive thus:
tar xvzf kegg2sbml-1.5.0.tar.gz cd kegg2sbml-1.5.0
Check that your copy of the perl command is located in /usr/bin/perl on your computer. If this is not so, put perl in /usr/bin/perl or else change the path to perl at the top of the bin/kegg2sbml file downloaded in this distribution of KEGG2SBML.
Next, create the Makefile and issue the commands to install KEGG2SBML:
perl Makefile.PL make sudo make install
make install copies the executable Perl script kegg2sbml to /usr/local/bin on your computer and it also installs additional Perl modules used by kegg2sbml into the Perl module directory on your computer system.
