Commands in mothur

I was trying to compile the 64 bit source code for my linux installation. I downloaded the source code zip file (https://github.com/mothur/mothur/releases) and ran the make command. I get the following error:

node00:[mothur-1.39.5] % make
g++ -DBIT_VERSION -O3 -DRELEASE_DATE="“3/20/2017"” -DVERSION="“1.39.5"” -std=c++0x -DUSE_READLINE -DUSE_BOOST -I ““Enter_your_boost_include_path_here”” -I. -I source/ -I source/calculators/ -I source/chimera/ -I source/classifier/ -I source/clearcut/ -I source/commands/ -I source/communitytype/ -I source/datastructures/ -I source/metastats/ -I source/randomforest/ -I source/read/ -I source/svm/ -c -o source/myseqdist.o source/myseqdist.cpp

What should I be doing?

thanks!

In the makefile you need to specify the path to the boost library if you want to compile mothur using the boost library, which by default is true.

You can either specify the correct path to the boost library on your system if you want to use it, or specify that you do not want to use the boost library in the makefile.
