Question regarding MEGAN6 on cluster base cpu only

Hello,
The system runs on RedHat 9, and I’m trying to compile the MEGAN Ultimate software to work with command line only since we don’t have display capabilities in the system. I run the script and everything seems fine, but when I try to check the installation by running ./MEGAN -V or any other command, nothing happens. What am I missing or not doing correctly?
Are there additional packages or other ways to run the software

Regards,
Osh

Hi @oshermaki,

If you’re running MEGAN on a server without a graphical interface, you’ll need to use xvfb to execute it. Here’s an example command:

xvfb-run --auto-servernum --server-num=1 MEGAN -g  

Additionally, if you’re only interested in using specific tools, you can find them in the MEGAN/tools directory. If you’re looking for something specific, feel free to let me know, and I’ll be happy to assist!

Also, please use MEGAN 7(MEGAN7 Download ), as it’s the most up-to-date version.

Best regards,
Anupam
