How To Install pirs-examples on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install pirs-examples on Kali Linux.

What is pirs-examples

pirs-examples is:

The program pIRS can be used for simulating Illumina PE reads, with a series of characters generated by Illumina sequencing platform, such as insert size distribution, sequencing error(substitution, insertion, deletion), quality score and GC content-coverage bias.

The insert size follows a normal distribution, so users should set the mean value and standard deviation. Usually the standard deviation is set as 1/20 of the mean value. The normal distribution by Box-Muller method is simulated.

The program simulates sequencing error, quality score and GC content- coverage bias according to the empirical distribution profile. Some default profiles counted from lots of real sequencing data are provided.

To simulate reads from diploid genome, users should simulate the diploid genome sequence firstly by setting the ratio of heterozygosis SNP, heterozygosis InDel and structure variation.

This package contains some example data.

There are three methods to install pirs-examples 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 pirs-examples Using apt-get

sudo apt -y install pirs-examples

Install pirs-examples Using aptitude

If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude on Kali Linux 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 pirs-examples using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install pirs-examples

How To Uninstall pirs-examples on Kali Linux
