Description
MacQIIME is a precompiled installation of QIIME, with all its dependencies, placed in one easy-to-install and easy-to-update folder.
MacQIIME will easily install and can be quickly deleted and will not replace, modify or break any existing software on your computer.
Every QIIME command you use is preceeded by the command "macqiime," which sources all the needed environment variables and helps to keep everything in a neat bottle.
In a collaboration with multiple labs on high-throughput sequencing analysis, we needed an easy way to install QIIME (and its many dependencies) and keep it updated on many Mac computers. A nice solution to this problem is this self-contained MacQIIME package.
NOTE: To install MacQIIME on your Mac, follow the detailed instructions available HERE.
