Installation notes for Pear version 0.9.11 [Nov 5, 2017]

Home Page

This program appears to have been changed from a public program to a licensed program.
The download page here
https://sco.h-its.org/exelixis/web/software/pear/
contains broken links.
The installation instructions here
https://sco.h-its.org/exelixis/web/software/pear/doc.html#installing
refer to a github repository that does not exist.
There was a link in a corner to
https://www.h-its.org/en/research/sco/software/#NextGenerationSequencingSequenceAnalysis
where I could request links to an academic copy, which I downloaded manually
