Installation of SLIMarray Lite

Overview

SLIMarray Lite is incredibly easy to install and start using. It’s only drawbacks are:

• Speed - it takes a long time to start, and may have a somewhat sluggish interface
• Database - it uses SQLite, and isn’t as fancy as MySQL, which is typically used in the non-Lite version
• Development - everything (except that database) is packaged into one executable, so modifications aren’t possible. For pursuing further development of SLIMarray, the full installation is necessary.

Installation

Windows

Prerequisite: Install SQLite from www.sqlite.org OR just download this file and extract the enclosed DLL into your SLIMarray folder: www.sqlite.org/sqlitedll-2_8_17.zip

1. Download SLIMarray Lite from slimarray.systemsbiology.net/download/slimarray_lite-0.1.0.zip
2. Unzip the slimarray_lite-0.1.0.zip file wherever you’d like
3. Go into the slimarray_lite-0.1.0 directory where you extracted it, and double-click slimarray_lite.exe

SLIMarray Lite should now be running if you go to localhost:3000 in a web browser on the computer where you installed it. The default username is ‘admin’ with a password (that should be changed to something less obvious) of ‘admin’. Refer to the Administrator and User guides for information about configuring and using SLIMarray Lite.

Linux

1. Download SLIMarray Lite from slimarray.systemsbiology.net/download/slimarray_lite-0.1.0.tar.gz
2. Unzip the slimarray_lite-0.1.0.tar.gz file wherever you’d like
3. Go into the slimarray_lite directory and run:

        ./slimarray_lite_linux
   

SLIMarray Lite should now be running if you go to localhost:3000 on the computer where you installed it. The default username is ‘admin’ with a password (that should be changed to something less obvious) of ‘admin’. Refer to the User guide for information about configuring and using SLIMarray Lite.
