Install SBFS manually
Overview
Install SBFS manually for Linux and macOS. Note that these instructions are meant for advanced users.
Conversely, learn to install SBFS automatically.
Linux
- Download the SBFS executable file.
curl https://igor.sbgenomics.com/downloads/sbfs/linux-amd64/sbfs -O
- Change the file permissions so you are able to run the executable
chmod a+x sbfs
The SBFS is now fully installed. See below for optional SBFS operations.
Optional operations
Add SBFS to the PATH
Add SBFS to the PATH to facilitate performing all SBFS operations using one of the following methods. Note that this is an optional step as the SBFS is also available if you provide the full path to the executable (e.g. path/to/dir/sbfs
).
- Move SBFS binary to a directory which is already in the PATH.
sudo mv sbfs /usr/local/bin/
- Add the directory which contains SBFS to the PATH. You can also create either a hard link or a symbolic link to the SBFS binary.
Add bash completion for SBFS
Please note that this only works with bash completion version 4, which should be previously installed and enabled.
To add bash completion on Linux, issue the following command:
sudo bash -c "sbfs gen completion > /etc/bash_completion.d/sbfs
To complete enabling SBFS bash completion restart the terminal application or source SBFS bash completion while staying in the same terminal application with this command:
sudo sbfs gen man /usr/local/share/man/man1/
Please note that if /usr/local/share/man
is not in your manpath then you should use any other directory from the manpath such as:
/usr/local/man
/usr/share/man
macOS
Prerequisite
Before installing SBFS, please install macFUSE. Check if FUSE is installed via your System Preferences.
Procedure
- Download the SBFS executable file.
curl https://igor.sbgenomics.com/downloads/sbfs/darwin-amd64/sbfs -O
- Change the file permissions so you are able to run the executable.
chmod a+x sbfs
The SBFS is now fully installed. See below for optional SBFS operations.

Install man pages
To install man
pages, use this command:
sudo sbfs gen man /usr/local/share/man/man1/
Please note that if /usr/local/share/man
is not in your manpath
then you should use any other directory from the manpath
such as:
/usr/local/man
/usr/share/man
