Hello there,

After days of searching around I can't find a simple step-by-step guide on how to install biomart locally including databases. Could you point me to such a document if what I want to do is possible at all?

I have also read the biomart 0.8 install manual, I have managed to set up a webserver, I can make it read data from local source but I can't find how to automatically download and install these sources locally.

If you can contribute more, then preferably:
1) I would like to know how to select a database and transfer it locally to my own, local mysql server, without having to go to each vendor's website download their files and install it to my local db. I mean is there a click-and-install feature in *mart-configurator* or something? I visualise this as I give my local mysql password and the databses are install automatically there.

2) I would like to install only a small subset of databases locally - the ones that i use a lot.

3) Ideally, I would like with a few clicks to update the biomart databases which are installed locally, every few weeks/months.

My aim right now is to convert between ensembl, uniprot, hugo protein IDs and get GO terms for each protein.

Thanking you in advance,
andreas
