# Aevol - An in silico experimental evolution platform
#
###############################################################################
#
# Aevol is a digital genetics model: populations of digital organisms are
# subjected to a process of selection and variation, which creates a
# Darwinian dynamics.
# .
# By modifying the characteristics of selection (e.g. population size,
# type of environment, environmental variations) or variation (e.g.
# mutation rates, chromosomal rearrangement rates, types of
# rearrangements, horizontal transfer), one can study experimentally the
# impact of these parameters on the structure of the evolved organisms.
# In particular, since Aevol integrates a precise and realistic model of
# the genome, it allows for the study of structural variations of the
# genome (e.g. number of genes, synteny, proportion of coding sequences).
# .
# The simulation platform comes along with a set of tools for analysing
# phylogenies and measuring many characteristics of the organisms and
# populations along evolution.

The complete documentation being quite heavy, it is not included in basic
distributions. Please visit www.aevol.fr
To take a quick tour, please take the following steps:
1) Compile Aevol with the following commands:
cd aevol/build
cmake ..
make
In that process, you'll need development packages.
Here are the basic dependencies on a Debian system:
build-essential
cmake
zlib1g-dev
libboost-dev
libx11-dev
libboost-filesystem1.67-dev
One option to install them all at once is to run the following command:
sudo apt install build-essential cmake zlib1g-dev libboost-dev libx11-dev libboost-filesystem1.67-dev
2) To run an example, e.g. basic, assuming you're in Aevol's root directory:
cd examples/basic
../../build/bin/aevol_create
../../build/bin/aevol_run
The first command will create an experiment with the parameters contained
in the "param.in" file
The second command will launch the simulation for 1000 generations
(otherwise, use the --nb_timesteps option to specify the desired number of
generations)
For more information, please see the manpages in the `doc` directory
(e.g. man -l aevol_create.1),
or run any executable with the --help option
(e.g. aevol_create --help),
and ultimately visit www.aevol.fr
