EXECUTION
====
To run the command-line, use:
`

```
python run_pasta.py -i input_fasta -t starting_tree --auto
`
```

The `--auto` option picks the appropriate configurations automatically for you.

Run `python run_pasta.py --help` to see PASTA's various options.

To run the GUI version,
* if you have used the MAC .dmg file, you can simply click on your application file to run PASTA.
* if you have installed from the source code, cd into your installation directory and run
```
python run_pasta_gui.py
```

The `--auto` option picks the configurations automatically for you. Run
`
python run_pasta.py --help
`
to see PASTA's various options.

Starting Trees
-------
NOTE that current version of the PASTA code does NOT compute the starting tree through a
process similar to what is described in the paper. Instead, it simply uses a FastTree on
the input, if input is aligned, or else runs MAFFT on the input to align it, and then runs FastTree.
