Requirements
Since 4.8.1, cd-hit supports .gz format input file. This requires zlib library. zlib should
be install in most Linux systems, so cd-hit should be compiled without issue. If your system

        sudo apt install zlib1g-dev
    * On CentOS, to install zlib:
        sudo yum install zlib-devel 


How to compile
  1. Compile with multi-threading support (default): make
  2. Compile without multi-threading support (if you are on very old systems): make openmp=no
  3. Compile without zlib (if you can not install zlib): make zlib=no
