Hi,

This is the GitHub repository for MrBayes, a program used for Bayesian inference of phylogeny.

Build instructions, very very short version (would install MrBayes as “/usr/local/bin/mb” on a Unix system):

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/NBISweden/MrBayes.git
cd MrBayes
./configure
make && sudo make install

Refer to the document called "INSTALL" for further information.

Current repository directory layout:

.
├── autotools      : Files relating to the build system
├── doc
│   └── manual     : The manual
├── examples       : Example input data sets
└── src            : C source code

The MrBayes web site is available at

http://mrbayes.net/

Historical releases are tagged with “v3.2.0” (etc.) from release 3.2.0 onwards.

The ‘master’ branch contains releases.

The ‘develop’ branch should hopefully, at all times, contain working development code that at least compiles. Apart from simple fixes, new development happens on feature branches off the ‘develop’ branch, and are merged back into ‘develop’ when finished. This more or less follows the “git-flow” branching model.

The ‘gh-pages’ branch contains the web site (only).

The ‘testing’ branch contains testing data files (only).

After release 3.2.6 (November 2015), MrBayes entered “maintenance mode”, and its care has been passed over to NBIS (National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden, http://nbis.se/). The original development team is still involved with the program, but any future releases will probably be geared more towards bug-fixes rather than addition of new features.

With kind regards, Andreas (Kusalananda) Kähäri, and Johan Nylander NBIS
