# Using apt-get

## Installing requirements 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 Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/gist/lmrodriguezr/78f2f48eadce96bc2dd526fd194fb00a).

### Packages

Run:

```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install \
  ruby ruby-sqlite3 r-base sqlite3 libcurl4-openssl-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev pigz \
  ncbi-blast+ hmmer bedtools spades prodigal mcl barrnap diamond-aligner \
  fastp fastani trnascan-se seqtk
```

### Additional Software

Some of the software required by MiGA is not available in aptitude, but you can install it in your 64bit Linux machine using:

```bash
## FaQCs
wget -O FaQCs \
  "https://github.com/LANL-Bioinformatics/FaQCs/releases/download/2.10/FaQCs_linux_x86_64"
sudo install FaQCs /usr/bin/ && rm FaQCs

## Falco
wget -O falco.tar.gz \
  "https://github.com/smithlabcode/falco/releases/download/v1.2.5/falco-1.2.5.tar.gz"
tar zxf falco.tar.gz
( cd falco-1.2.5 \
    && ./configure CXXFLAGS="-O3 -Wall" \
    && make && sudo make install
)
rm -rf falco-1.2.5 falco.tar.gz
```

## JAVA VM

If you want support for RDP classifications, you'll need any working Java VM. For example, you could install Temurin as follows:

```bash
wget -O - https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/api/gpg/key/public \
  | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/deb \
  $(awk -F= '/^VERSION_CODENAME/{print$2}' /etc/os-release) main" \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/adoptium.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install temurin-21-jdk
```

### MyTaxa utils

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

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
