[maker-devel] Problem with installation

So I managed to install it on my workstation and it works fine! Thanks for
the information on perlbrew. I will also give it a try.

I did a test run on my workstation using just a few contigs and was
wondering where the annotation is saved. Is it the gff files (one gff per
contig) in the *.maker.output/ directory?
