+# INSTALL GEMMA: Genome-wide Efficient Mixed Model Association
+
+## Check version
+
+Simply run gemma once installed
+
+    gemma
+
+and it should give you the version.
+
+## GEMMA dependencies
+
+GEMMA runs on Linux and MAC OSX and the runtime has the following
+dependencies:
+
+* C++ tool chain
+* GNU Science library (GSL)
+* blas
+* [Eigen library](http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/dox/)
+* zlib
+
+## Install GEMMA
+
+### Bioconda
+
+(Note Bioconda install is a work in [progress](https://github.com/xiangzhou/GEMMA/issues/52)
+
+Recent versions of GEMMA can be installed with
+[BioConda](http://ddocent.com/bioconda/) without root permissions using the following
+command
+
+    conda install gemma
+
+### GNU Guix
+
+The GNU Guix package manager can install recent versions of [GEMMA](https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/packages/g.html)
+using the following command
+
+    guix package -i gemma
+
+### Install from source
+
+Install listed dependencies and run
+
+    make
+
+if you get an Eigen error you may need to override the include
+path. E.g. on GNU Guix with shared libs this may work
+
+    make EIGEN_INCLUDE_PATH=~/.guix-profile/include/eigen3 FORCE_DYNAMIC=1
