This simply breaks down the procedure of downloading, unpacking, and arranging the software into a set of steps. It worked for me; your system may require substituting different commands at some steps.

Now, for the others, a compressed version of the results. We start in the "top" directory each time. Note that the "match" and "photom" directories, we type make check; that builds the executables, and in addition runs simple self-test checks. The other packages lack these tests.

We create a tiny little file called "cmd.in", which contains a single TCL command to invoke the pipeline. We then run the "tclsh" interpreter, using this tiny file as input, and sending the output to a file "cmd.out" for later reference in case something goes wrong.

About two and half hours later, the pipeline finished. All the intermediate and final results were in the "output" subdirectory.
