Installation
Download the source file Treeduce.java.
Download and install a Java Compiler.

Type “javac Treeduce.java” to compile the program.
Running the program
Type “java Treeduce input.tree [k] [-s]”
| input.tree | text file containing any number of trees in Newick format |
| k | the value of the parameter (default is 1) |
| -s | use this to enable silent mode |
The reduced trees will be saved in Newick format to a file called “reduced.tree”.
Example
An example input file: example.txt
