SPIRE depends on the excellent BioPython library, and the bioinf-helperlibs helper library.
If you install the two dependencies, you should be able to run spire from the directory it is located in.
./spire example.gbk
Run without any additional arguments, spire will print out diagnostics on how
many IRE sequences were found. Calling spire with --help will show the
additional output options. --text will show a human-readable overview of
the results, --stats will show some statistics. Multiple output options can
be used together.
