Compile AMRFinder from source

Manual installation summary

If you want to compile AMRFinder yourself you'll need gcc and GNU make to compile the software as well as the other prerequisites BLAST+, HMMER, and Perl. We have only tested compiling AMRFinder with GNU tools on Linux, so your mileage may vary.

AMRFinder was developed with g++ (GCC) 4.9.3.
