This page lists instructions on how to install the pre-requisites for PICRUSt2.

Commands below are assuming that you are working in a Linux environment.

Make ~/bin in your PATH

It is presumed that you have a "bin" directory within your home directory (e.g. "~/bin") and this directory is within your PATH environment variable. If you don't have this, then go Google it now.

papara installation

cd 
wget -qO- https://sco.h-its.org/exelixis/resource/download/software/papara_nt-2.5-static_x86_64.tar.gz | tar xvz
mv papara_static_x86_64 ~/bin/papara

epa-ng installation

cd
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Pbdas/epa.git
cd epa
make
ln -s ~/epa/bin/epa-ng ~/bin/

*Note: if the make command fails then you likely need to install various packages for compilation: sudo apt-get install autotools-dev libtool flex bison cmake automake autoconf

gappa installation

git clone --recursive https://github.com/lczech/gappa.git
cd gappa
make
ln -s ~/gappa/bin/gappa ~/bin/
