Installing Roary and Prokka on Ubuntu

Dr. Muniba Faiza

Published

on

In the last article on Bioinformatics Review, the utilization of Roary [1] and Prokka [2] was explained to create a pangenome from isolated genome sequences. This article is about installing these both packages on Ubuntu.

In order to install Roary and Prokka, you need to install some dependencies such as ncbi-blast+, cd-hit, and so on. These are explained in the following sections. So, let’s start.

1. Installing dependencies

Open the terminal (Ctrl+T) and type the following commands:

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get upgrade

It’s better to upgrade the system before installing new software.

After that, start installing the dependencies.

$ sudo apt-get install bedtools ncbi-blast+ mcl cd-hit mafft prank fasttree parallel

$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell

> install Array::Utils

Similarly, install the following modules:

Bio::Perl Exception::Class File::Basename File::Copy File::Find::Rule File::Grep File::Path File::Slurper File::Spec File::Temp File::Which FindBin Getopt::Long Graph Graph::Writer::Dot List::Util Log::Log4perl Moose Moose::Role Text::CSV PerlIO::utf8_strict Devel::OverloadInfo Digest::MD5::File

Or install all of them at once:
$ sudo cpanm Array::Utils Bio::Perl Exception::Class File::Basename File::Copy File::Find::Rule File::Grep File::Path File::Slurper File::Spec File::Temp File::Which FindBin Getopt::Long Graph Graph::Writer::Dot List::Util Log::Log4perl Moose Moose::Role Text::CSV PerlIO::utf8_strict Devel::OverloadInfo Digest::MD5::File

2. Installing Roary from source

You can install Roary from the source. First, download the latest software from here (https://github.com/sanger-pathogens/Roary/tarball/master) and then go into the directory where you have downloaded the software (let’s say, Downloads).

$ cd Downloads

$ tar xvzf sanger-pathogens-Roary-xxxx.tar.gz

$ cd sanger-pathogens-Roary-db

$ ./install_dependencies.sh

Now, open your bashrc file, type the following lines at the end of the file:

$ sudo gedit ~/.bashrc

$ export PATH=/home/user/Downloads/sanger-pathogens-Roary-db/bin

$ export PERL5LIB=/home/user/Downloads/sanger-pathogens-Roary-db/lib

$ source ~/.bashrc

Check whether it has been installed or not:

$ roary -w

It will print the version.

3. Installing Prokka

Open the terminal and type the following commands:

$ sudo apt-get install libdatetime-perl libxml-simple-perl libdigest-md5-perl git default-jre bioperl
$ sudo cpan Bio::Perl
$ git clone https://github.com/tseemann/prokka.git $HOME/prokka
$ $HOME/prokka/bin/prokka --setupdb

protein structure & folding prediction using remote homologs

Remote homologs are similar protein structures that share similar functions, but there is no easily detectable sequence similarity in them. A new study has revealed that the protein folding information can be exploited from remote homologous structures. A new tool is developed to recognize such proteins and predict their structure and folding pathway. (more…)
