This guide will show you how to install conda
and then use it to install nextflow and singularity for executing popular bioinformatics workflows. Unfortunately, singularity
is not available on Windows or macOS. So, this guide will only target Linux environments. If you have to use Windows 10, then try WSL2. If you have to use macOS, then try a Virtual Machine.
Download the Miniconda3 installer for Linux environments:
curl -L https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -o miniconda.sh
Install into a folder named miniconda3
under your home directory, and delete the installer:
bash miniconda.sh -bup $HOME/miniconda3 && rm -f miniconda.sh
