| You are encouraged to install the software that you need into your own home directory (or possibly into a shared directory for the project you are working on). This gives you control of the versions of the software you are using, and when upgrades are made. This is good for reproducibility of results. You can use Conda to install specific versions of Python or R, and associated packages into your own home directory. Conda can also install many bioinformatics programs (e.g. STAR, bwa etc.) through the bioconda channel. You can also look at using a (Singularity) container to encapsulate a project or software pipeline - see [[Using Singularity]]. | You are encouraged to install the software that you need into your own home directory (or possibly into a shared directory for the project you are working on).
