How To Install plasmidid on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install plasmidid on Kali Linux.

What is plasmidid

plasmidid is:

PlasmidID is a mapping-based, assembly-assisted plasmid identification tool that analyzes and gives graphic solution for plasmid identification.

PlasmidID is a computational pipeline that maps Illumina reads over plasmid database sequences. The k-mer filtered, most covered sequences are clustered by identity to avoid redundancy and the longest are used as scaffold for plasmid reconstruction. Reads are assembled and annotated by automatic and specific annotation. All information generated from mapping, assembly, annotation and local alignment analyses is gathered and accurately represented in a circular image which allow user to determine plasmidic composition in any bacterial sample.

There are three methods to install plasmidid 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 plasmidid Using apt-get

Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.
