*Subject:* Bio linux download
Hi, I am trying to download Biolinux on a USB stick but once i have
finished the initial download the only option i get is to burn it onto a
CD. Is there something i am missing?
Hi, Shaun.
Tracey forwarded your message to me and I've CC'ed my reply to the
Bio-Linux mailing list in case anyone else has the same problem.
We've done a 'point' release of Bio-Linux 8.0.8 that you can download:
http://environmentalomics.org/bio-linux-8-0-8-2/
Please read the NERC/EOS documentation about how to create a USB-stick:
http://environmentalomics.org/bio-linux-installation/
Please note that Bio-Linux 8.0.7/8 are both based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS,
which will reach it's end of life this month (April 2019) so I do not
recommend using Bio-Linux 8, which is no longer supported by NERC/EOS.
I recommend downloading Ubuntu-MATE 18.04 LTS and creating a bootable
USB-stick from that, and use the USB-stick to install Ubuntu-MATE 18.04
permanently onto a hard disk (or an external USB disk):
https://ubuntu-mate.org/download/
Then, boot from the hard disk and install "med-bio" and "med-bio-dev"
from the Debian-Med project onto the Ubuntu-MATE 18.04 instance:
sudo -i
apt update
apt install med-bio med-bio-dev
[Note: There is a problem installing "metaphlan2" under Ubuntu 18.04]
Most of the packages in Bio-Linux 8 are now available in the Ubuntu
repository thanks to the work of the Debian-Med team. Please post a
message to the Debian-Med mailing list if you decide to try med-bio out.
I can provide you with a pre-release Bio-Linux 9-alpha 'live' USB-stick
based on Ubuntu-MATE 18.04 + packages from "med-bio" if you send me a
stamped addressed padded envelope to the address in my signature below.
HTH,
Tony.
