You can find the required perl modules "Tie::IxHash" and "Parallel::ForkManager" in the lib/ directory or from CPAN (www.cpan.org).
To install the Config::General module, you can use CPAN (if CPAN module is installed)
> perl -MCPAN -e shell
% install Config::General
or use the search.cpan.org website to find directly the module.

Sample datasets
The SVDetect package contains one example of datasets to illustrate the common usage of the program
(Neuroblastoma and normal cell lines, 50bp Illumina mate-pair reads).
All data files for generating mate-pair mapping clusters are already included in the test_sample/ directory.
Additional data files are required to get copy-number profiles and are available at the following address:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/svdetect/files/Data/Neuroblastoma_supp_data.tar.gz/download
Uncompress the archive file and copy the content into the test_sample/Neuroblastoma directory.
