How To Install swarm on Kali Linux

Introduction

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

What is swarm

swarm is:

The purpose of swarm is to provide a novel clustering algorithm to handle large sets of amplicons. Traditional clustering algorithms results are strongly input-order dependent, and rely on an arbitrary global clustering threshold. swarm results are resilient to input-order changes and rely on a small local linking threshold d, the maximum number of differences between two amplicons. swarm forms stable high-resolution clusters, with a high yield of biological information.

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

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