System requirements
To work with CLC Microbial Genomics Module 3.0 you will need to have CLC Genomics Workbench version 11.0 or higher or Biomedical Genomics Workbench 5.0 or higher installed on your computer. With exception of the two editors below, the system requirements of CLC Microbial Genomics Module 3.0 are the same as the ones required for the CLC Genomics Workbench:
- Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 or Windows Server 2012
- OS X 10.9, 10.10, 10.11 and macOS 10.12
- Linux: RHEL 6.0 and later, SUSE 13.1 and later
- 2 GB RAM required
- 8 GB RAM recommended
- 1024 x 768 display required
- 1600 x 1200 display recommended
- Intel or AMD CPU required
Special requirements for the Taxonomic Profiler. The quality performance of the Taxonomic Profiler depends on the reference database used - the more complete a database, the better the quality. However, running the Taxonomic Profiler with a given database size will require at least the same amount of memory. For example, running with a 14 GB database requires at least 16 GB of RAM, and running with a 56 GB database requires a minimum of 64 GB RAM. When creating your reference database with the Create Microbial Reference Database tool, you will get a warning about the memory requirements needed for running the Taxonomic Profiler with this database.
Special requirements for De Novo Assemble Metagenome. It is recommended to have at least 16 GB RAM when running the De Novo Assemble Metagenome.
The PCoA 3D viewer requirements are the same as the 3D Molecule Viewer:
- System requirements
- A graphics card capable of supporting OpenGL 2.0.
- Updated graphics drivers. Please make sure the latest driver for the graphics card is installed.
- Indirect rendering (such as x11 forwarding through ssh), remote desktop connection/VNC, and running in virtual machines are not supported.
- System Recommendations
- A discrete graphics card from either Nvidia or AMD/ATI. Modern integrated graphics cards (such as the Intel HD Graphics series) may also be used, but these are usually slower than the discrete cards.
- A 64-bit workbench version.
The Sunburst viewer makes use of JavaFX and may not work on older Linux kernels. An updated list of requirements for JavaFX can be found at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/downloads/supportedconfigurations-1506746.html.
