+Installation
+============
+
+The recommended installation is by means of the toolshed_.
+If you need to install it manually here is a short introduction.

+    <tool file="gene_prediction/tools/augustus/augustus.xml" />
+  </section>
+
+
+Set the *AUGUSTUS_CONFIG_PATH* to /path_to_augustus/augustus/config with::
