Run APE plasmid editor in linux

I used to like APE on windows.  I want to run it on linux (ubuntu 12.04 LTS) also.

A quick google search:
http://www.allandebono.org/ubuntu,ape/plasmid-editor/


I followed the instruction.

first download the APE for linux here http://biologylabs.utah.edu/jorgensen/wayned/ape/Download/

unzip it, you will find two folders, one for Linux, the other one for Mac_OS

copy the "APE linux" folder to  your home directory:  /home/tommy/APE_linux.    I rename it as APE_linux, as linux "hates" the empty space.

cd  /usr/bin
ls tclsh8.5

if you see it is there, you are fine. otherwise you have to install it:

sudo apt-get install tk8.5 tcl8.5

tclsh8.5 /home/tommy/APE_linux/AppMain.tcl
