Download to a known location, then in NvJ, change to that directory and type:

source umbc-NvJ-installer.tcl

This will download the remaining files and put them in the right place. You will need to restart NvJ in order to use the new features.

Contact Jan with any questions.

If you'd like to use the suggested directory structure for organizing your projects, this script might be useful:

makeRNAproj

To use it, download to a location (prefably in your PATH) and run:

makeRNAproj [NAME] [SEQ]

where [NAME] is the fragment name [SEQ] is the RNA sequence. For example:

makeRNAproj stem1 GGAUCGUGUACC
