# Requirements MiGA requires a system (single computer, cluster, or cloud-computing infrastructure) with Linux or MacOS. If you simply want to access projects previously processed, all you need is `ruby` 3.1+ and the `miga-base` gem. If you want to use MiGA to process your data, please follow these instructions. MiGA has a relatively long list of requirements, but most of them are easy to install. Find your system below and follow the instructions using: * [Homebrew](/part2/requirements/brew.md) (preferred), * [`apt-get`](/part2/requirements/apt-get.md), * [Anaconda](/part2/requirements/conda.md), * [Installing from source](/part2/requirements/source.md). Additionally you will need [MyTaxa utils](/part2/requirements/mytaxa.md) in order to activate the [MyTaxa](/part5/workflow.md#mytaxa) and [MyTaxa Scan](/part5/workflow.md#mytaxa-scan) steps (optional). --- # 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/part2/requirements.md?ask= ``` 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.
