Mothur :: Local Installation

On Ubuntu
$ wget http://www.mothur.org/w/images/2/2b/Mothur.source.zip
- This is latest version of Mothur as i write

$ unzip Mothur.source.zip
$ cd Mothur.source
$ make

If problem, usually readline error
- check if readline is installed,
$ dpkg -l | grep readline
- readline-common is not the one we are looking
- it must be libreadline5 or libreadline5-dev
- install these packages
$ sudo apt-get install libreadline5-dev

if NO problem, start the mothur package
$ ./mothur

if there is a make problem, enter a line
-lncurses\
in the makefile
