How To Install centrifuge on Kali Linux
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install centrifuge on Kali Linux.
What is centrifuge
Centrifuge is a very rapid and memory-efficient system for the classification of DNA sequences from microbial samples, with better sensitivity than and comparable accuracy to other leading systems. The system uses a novel indexing scheme based on the Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT) and the Ferragina-Manzini (FM) index, optimized specifically for the metagenomic classification problem. Centrifuge requires a relatively small index (e.g., 4.3 GB for ~4,100 bacterial genomes) yet provides very fast classification speed, allowing it to process a typical DNA sequencing run within an hour. Together these advances enable timely and accurate analysis of large metagenomics data sets on conventional desktop computers.
There are three ways to install centrifuge on Kali Linux . We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.
Install centrifuge Using apt-get
Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.
sudo apt-get update
After updating apt database, We can install centrifuge using apt-get by running the following command:
sudo apt-get -y install centrifuge
Install centrifuge Using apt
Update apt database with apt using the following command.
sudo apt update
After updating apt database, We can install centrifuge using apt by running the following command:
sudo apt -y install centrifuge
Install centrifuge Using aptitude
If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Kali Linux. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.
sudo aptitude update
After updating apt database, We can install centrifuge using aptitude by running the following command:
sudo aptitude -y install centrifuge
How To Uninstall centrifuge on Kali Linux
To uninstall only the centrifuge package we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get remove centrifuge
Uninstall centrifuge And Its Dependencies
To uninstall centrifuge and its dependencies that are no longer needed by Kali Linux, we can use the command below:
sudo apt-get -y autoremove centrifuge
Remove centrifuge Configurations and Data
To remove centrifuge configuration and data from Kali Linux we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get -y purge centrifuge
Remove centrifuge configuration, data, and all of its dependencies
We can use the following command to remove centrifuge configurations, data and all of its dependencies, we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge centrifuge
