10. $ cd MCR_LINUX64b/

    Finished
12. $ cd ..
13. Cleanup
    $ rm MCR_LINUX64b -rf
14. $ cd ..
15. Modify the launcher script FGAP_1_7_LINUX64b/run_fgap.sh by modifying it to automatically include the mcr directory, and rename it to fgap for simplicity
    A copy of the modified launcher is here: fgap
    $ wget -N http://vcru.wisc.edu/simonlab/bioinformatics/programs/fgap/fgap
16. $ chmod +x fgap
17. For convenience, make a symlink for the sample data directory
    $ cd fgapdir
18. $ ln -s FGAP_${ver}_LINUX64b/sample_data
