How To Install r-bioc-limma on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-bioc-limma on Kali Linux. r-bioc-limma is linear models for microarray data

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-bioc-limma on Kali Linux.

What is r-bioc-limma

r-bioc-limma is:

Microarrays are microscopic plates with carefully arranged short DNA strands and/or chemically prepared surfaces to which other DNA preferably binds. The amount of DNA binding at different locations of these chips, typically determined by a fluorescent dye, is to be interpreted. The technology is typically used with DNA that is derived from RNA, i.e to determine the activity of a gene and/or its splice variants. But the technology is also used to determine sequence variations in genomic DNA.

This Bioconductor package supports the analysis of gene expression microarray data, especially the use of linear models for analysing designed experiments and the assessment of differential expression. The package includes pre-processing capabilities for two-colour spotted arrays. The differential expression methods apply to all array platforms and treat Affymetrix, single channel and two channel experiments in a unified way.

There are three methods to install r-bioc-limma 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 r-bioc-limma Using apt-get

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

sudo apt-get update

After updating apt database, We can install r-bioc-limma using apt-get by running the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install r-bioc-limma

Install r-bioc-limma Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install r-bioc-limma using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install r-bioc-limma

Install r-bioc-limma 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 r-bioc-limma using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install r-bioc-limma
