Could you please provide more details, e.g. what operating system are you trying to install under? (Looks like linux?)
Also, which version of MEGAN?

Hi Daniel,
I am using Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS, and the Megan version that I am using is MEGAN_Ultimate_unix_6_20_17.

I have previously been using the regular version (not the ultimate version) on the same ubuntu machine and have not had problems with running the program.

I have found the bug and will upload a fix today (release 6.20.19)

@Daniel I am trying to download the latest version of MEGAN on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, but when I try to download the unix version of MEGAN it opens up in Notepad ++.

MEGAN_Community_unix_6_21_10.sh.

Is there a way to download MEGAN 6.21.10 on the command line?

I’m not sure why it is opening in Notepad for you. I just tried this on Ubuntu. In general, installation is a two step process.

  1. Download the installer. Either use your web-browser or use wget, like this:

wget https://software-ab.cs.uni-tuebingen.de/download/megan6/MEGAN_Ultimate_unix_6_24_12.sh

  1. Launch the installer from the command-line:

chmod u+x MEGAN_Ultimate_unix_6_24_12.sh
./MEGAN_Ultimate_unix_6_24_12.sh -c

I will try this out thank you!
