You probably want to talk with your sysadmin on how best to install the software. You can get a precompiled linux or source code version of mothur from our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/mothur/mothur/releases/latest). I’d encourage you to follow the [MiSeq SOP](https://github.com/mothur/mothur/releases/latest) and check out the batch file that accompanies the data files that are used with that tutorial. Pat ---

Thank you, Pat. I have followed the [MiSeq SOP](https://github.com/mothur/mothur/releases/latest) section and it worked. -Sravani
