# Using apt-get

## Live notebook

If you prefer to see code in action, the full installation process with apt-get is available as a [Notebook in Google Collab](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1xP5l0p1osRwrzw39IyAplRhbVeCdgmsJ).

## Essentials

If you have `apt-get`, execute:

```bash
# General-purpose software
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ruby ruby-sqlite3 r-base sqlite3 python \
  libcurl4-openssl-dev openjdk-8-jdk
# Bioinformatics software
sudo apt-get install ncbi-blast+ hmmer bedtools idba \
  prodigal mcl barrnap scythe fastqc diamond-aligner
sudo ln -s $(which diamond-aligner) /usr/bin/diamond
```

## IDBA

The index of some distros may still have an old version of IDBA that didn't build the IDBA-UD flavor (you'll need at least v1.1.3-2). Check first if you have it:

```bash
idba_ud
```

If you don't, you can get it by adding the Ubuntu Universe source to APT:

```bash
echo 'deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ cosmic universe' \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-universe.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install idba
```

Or install it directly from the DEB package:

```bash
wget http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/idba/idba_1.1.3-3_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./idba_1.1.3-3_amd64.deb
```

## SolexaQA++

Next, you'll need to install SolexaQA++. If you have a 64-bits Linux:

```bash
curl -L -o SolexaQA++_v3.1.7.1.zip \
  "https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/solexaqa/src/SolexaQA%2B%2B_v3.1.7.1.zip"
unzip -p SolexaQA++_v3.1.7.1.zip Linux_x64/SolexaQA++ > SolexaQA++
sudo install SolexaQA++ /usr/bin/
```

If you have 32-bits Linux, you can build SolexaQA++ from source:

```bash
sudo apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-filesystem-dev \
      libboost-regex-dev libboost-iostreams-dev
curl -L -o SolexaQA++_v3.1.7.1.zip \
  "https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/solexaqa/src/SolexaQA%2B%2B_v3.1.7.1.zip"
unzip SolexaQA++_v3.1.7.1.zip 'source/*'
cd source && make
sudo install source/SolexaQA++ /usr/bin/
```

## FastANI

FastANI is optional, but it may be required to search certain databases. It can be used instead of BLAST ANI to speed up indexing. If you have a 64-bits Linux:

```bash
curl -L -o fastani-Linux64-v1.3.zip \
  "https://github.com/ParBLiSS/FastANI/releases/download/v1.3/fastani-Linux64-v1.3.zip"
unzip fastani-Linux64-v1.3.zip fastANI
sudo install fastANI /usr/bin/
```

If you have a 32-bits Linux, you can build it from source following the [FastANI installation](https://github.com/ParBLiSS/FastANI/blob/master/INSTALL.txt).

## R packages

The full list of R packages is automatically installed by MiGA. However, we will install one package here to make sure everything is properly initialized.

```bash
Rscript -e "install.packages('ape', repos = 'http://cran.rstudio.com/')"
```

## MyTaxa utils

If you want to activate the [MyTaxa](https://github.com/bio-miga/miga/tree/2987d0a747581e7e0515fac7bf98f7935fe4b24b/manual/part2/part5/workflow.md#mytaxa) and [MyTaxa Scan](https://github.com/bio-miga/miga/tree/2987d0a747581e7e0515fac7bf98f7935fe4b24b/manual/part2/part5/workflow.md#mytaxa-scan) steps, follow the instructions to install the [MyTaxa Utils](/master/part2/requirements/mytaxa.md).

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://manual.microbial-genomes.org/master/part2/requirements/apt-get.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
