Announcing the official release of Trans-Proteomic Pipeline (TPP) 7.1.0 "Albedo"

We are proud to offer a minor update to the Trans-Proteomic Pipeline (TPP) software, release 7.1.0.  The software is available with installer for MacOS, Windows; Linux and Android users can build the software from source, from all the usual locations (please see the section below, "Getting the TPP Software").  Current recommendations for most users is to install using the Windows or MacOS installers, which setup and configure TPP and other required software, such as the Apache web server, perl and python automatically.  For advanced or enterprise users, who need to customize TPP, or for those users who run on Linux and Android, the source code is provided for download and the software must be configured and compiled on site.  When building from source, add site specific configurations to site.mk in the top level directory after unpacking the source tree.
