CopyRighter Installation Help Needed

[Paul Naphtali]

Hello,

I'm new to CopyRighter, having just downloaded the necessary files from the Github page. I'm currently trying to install CopyRighter into my committee member's Unix server system, but have encountered a number of errors in trying to do so.

First, the system tells me that there's a string found where an operator is expected where "author_requires 'Module::Install' " is and asks me to predeclare author_requires. Once I cut out the component of the script containing the author_requires lines and rerun the script, I get asked to auto-install the 3 mandatory modules (Bio::Community, Getopt::Euclid, and Method::Signatures), to which I type "y" and enter. When I do so, all I'm told is that the pre-requisites the script asks me to autoinstall are not found and then the script ends, as follows:

include /net/infofile2/2/scratch/gradstd5/AmpliCopyrighter-master/inc/Module/Install.pm

include inc/Module/Install/Metadata.pm

include inc/Module/Install/Base.pm

I've already installed the pre-requisite files at a separate location away from the home directory as my committee member asked, but I don't think the script recognizes that. I'm just wondering where I went wrong with the installation and how I can install CopyRighter into my own bin folder instead of inside the home directory if possible.

Thank you!
