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 1.9+ (recommended 2.3+) and the required gems. If you want to use MiGA to process your data, please continue 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:

• ​apt-get,

• ​Homebrew or Linuxbrew,

• ​Anaconda or Miniconda,

• ​Installing from source.

In addition, you will also need the MyTaxa utils in order to activate the MyTaxa and MyTaxa Scan steps (optional).
