Requirements

GLUE can be installed natively running directly on your system or alternatively in a Docker container. The native install option is more complex and requires Oracle Java 1.8.0 or later and set up of a specific named database within MySQL 5.6 or later.

Several GLUE functions also require integration of external software including BLAST+, MAFFT & RAxML. Each of these will need to be installed separately if installing GLUE natively.

The Docker container option requires installation of only the Docker Engine but will require the user to learn some core basic concepts if unfamiliar with the Docker environment.

Specific details for both types of installation can be found in the following guide:

If using GLUE for the first time, it is also recommended to build the example project to become familiar with the GLUE environment and the structure of data within a project. Details of how to access and build the example project can be found in the GLUE User Guide:
