Full Program Download
Download file:
Use this file for downloading and updating the full HOMER program and associated data. For sequencing data, there are a bunch of annotation files, etc., for each version of the genome, and this script helps manage those files. If you don't want to deal with configuring HOMER's next-gen sequencing functionality, but want to try it for motif finding, see below.
Instructions: Download configureHomer.pl (right click and select "save link as") and place in a directory dedicated for HOMER (such as homer/).
Run the script by typing "perl configureHomer.pl" - consult the links below for more information. Additional software and configuration will be required the first time you install HOMER (see Installation).

To upgrade, change your directory to where you installed HOMER, and type:
If something appears to be wrong, redownload the "configureHomer.pl" script and use "perl configureHomer.pl -install homer" - this fixes a majority of issues.

-update
- or -
perl configureHomer.pl -install homer (this is good for
forcing the software to reinstall - preferred if you
think there is something wrong) If something appears to be wrong, redownload the "configureHomer.pl" script and use "perl configureHomer.pl -install homer" - this fixes a majority of issues.
Program Components and Older Versions
homer2
program - key exectuable for HOMER motif discovery
(homerCppOnly.*.zip). (This archive actually contains all
of the c++ exectuables, not just homer2). Unzip in
the desired directory and simply type "make" to compile
the program.
The configuration script really doesn't deal with older versions, but you can download older versions yourself should you really feel like using inferior data or software!
