Process BigBed

For some functionalities, PepBedR runs internally some tools from UCSC. To install the UCSC utilities, follow the instructions here.

Alternatively, you could run from terminal the commands below to get installed the requiered binaries (tested on Ubuntu 16.04):

  cd $HOME
  
  # make directory
  mkdir kent-utils
  
  cd kent-utils
  
  # download binaries from UCSC
  curl -O http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/admin/exe/linux.x86_64/bigBedToBed
  curl -O http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/admin/exe/linux.x86_64/bigBedSummary
  curl -O http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/admin/exe/linux.x86_64/bigBedInfo
  
  # set exec permission
  chmod -R a+x .
  
  # Add the follow line to the .profile file. 
  # You could need to reboot your system to take effect of the changes.
  export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/kent-utils

Note that for Mac OS system, the binaries can be download from here.
