Qiime install

[naragam]

Hi,

As usual I need a quick and dirty and reliable way of getting all the required dependencies for installing Qiime on my Ubuntu PC. Looks like I have everything but libghc installed and it looks like getting libghc for Ubuntu is challenging....at least for me...

So, can anybody out there help me in a hurry?

TiA,

Nash

The dependencies can be a pain. Try out the VirtualBox version if that works for you. Its fine for most small datasets and come pre-packaged.

Also look through the QIIME forum if somebody has reported problems with libghc. Maybe this applies to you??

I am trying to install qiime trough virtual box. Everything seems to go ok, until I enter the command VBOXADDITIONS in order ti run it, and I am asked for a password...In the video tutorial a password in not required.
What I should do?

The default password for the VM is 'qiime' (without the quotes)

has anybody tried the packages from the bio-linux repo? I haven't had a chance to see whether they actually work--if so, installing qiime is as easy as running apt-get
