EMBOSS data files

EMBOSS will by default install the data files (including those installed with Rebaseextract, Prosextract Printsextract Aaindexextract or Cutgsextract) in the default directory

share/EMBOSS/data

in the install prefix directory. If EMBOSS is not installed (for example, your own personal installation) the data files are written to

emboss/data

in the directory where emboss was built.

If you want to place your data files elsewhere, or have a separate set of datafiles you wish to use, you can set the

EMBOSS_DATA

variable in

emboss.default

or, for personal use, in your

.embossrc

file.
