Installing the OBITools3

This is an old version of this page. You can view the most recent version or browse the history.

The OBITools3 are now available to download from git, and will soon be on Nix (pull request).

First, make sure you have installed: python3, python3-venv, git, CMake

Then you can install the OBITools3 in a virtual environment:

	git clone https://git.metabarcoding.org/obitools/obitools3.git
	cd obitools3
	python3 -m venv obi3-env
	source obi3-env/bin/activate
	pip install cython
	python3 setup.py install
	source obi_completion_script.sh

And test the installation with:

	obi test

Once installed, you will need to be in the virtual environment to run commands (source obi3-env/bin/activate), or add the obi command to your PATH.
