Installation on Linux

The following UGENE package delivery types are available on 64-bit Linux:

• Online installer: updates to new versions are supported.
• TAR.GZ archive: does not require an Internet connection to be installed.

Other packages for older UGENE versions are available on the webpage http://ugene.net/download-all.html.

Attention: The online installer has been removed from UGENE since version 39.0.

Installation using the online installer

1. Download an archive with the online installer file (“ugeneInstaller_64bit.tar”).

2. Unpack the archive.

3. Run the extracted “ugeneInstaller_64bit” executable file.

   cd ~/Downloads
   tar -xf ugeneInstaller_64bit.tar
   ./ugeneInstaller_64bit
   

4. Follow the installation wizard.

Upon the release of a new UGENE version, a notification will appear with an option to update the package.

Installation using TAR.GZ archive

1. Download the TAR.GZ archive.

2. Unpack the archive - in the Terminal run:

   tar -xzf archive_file
   

3. From the unpacked folder, run ./ugeneui (here “ui” stands for “User Interface”). For example:

   cd ~/Downloads
   tar -xzf ugene-current-version-x86-64.tar.gz
   cd ugene-current-version
   ./ugeneui
   

Upon the release of a new UGENE version, a notification will appear. However, to install the new version, it is required to manually download the package again.
