For this section, we will need to login to our compute machine at WestGrid.
When we want to use a new piece of open-source (publicly available for free :) ) software, we need to get it from the internet.
How do we go about doing this?
- Go to Google
- Type in bowtie2 (Should get you to http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/bowtie2/index.shtml)
- We want to install in the Linux environment (https://sourceforge.net/projects/bowtie-bio/files/bowtie2/2.2.9/bowtie2-2.2.9-linux-x86_64.zip/download)
- Download the file wget wget --no-check-certificate https://sourceforge.net/projects/bowtie-bio/files/bowtie2/2.2.9/bowtie2-2.2.9-linux-x86_64.zip/download
- Unzip the download unzip unzip bowtie2-2.2.9-linux-x86_64.zip
Congratulations! You now have a working version of bowtie2 installed!
