Manual installation summary

If you want to compile AMRFinder yourself you'll need gcc and GNU make to compile the software as well as the other prerequisites BLAST+, HMMER, and Perl. We have only tested compiling AMRFinder with GNU tools on Linux, so your mileage may vary.

AMRFinder was developed with g++ (GCC) 4.9.3.
