<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Krishnaveni,<br><br></div><div>The $ symbol signifies part of the shell prompt. This usually corresponds to an environment variable called PS1 (see <a href="https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Guide_to_Unix/Environment_Variables#PS1">https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Guide_to_Unix/Environment_Variables#PS1</a>). You can change the shell prompt to be whatever you like (see <a href="http://www.linuxnix.com/2013/04/linuxunix-shell-ps1-prompt-explained-in-detail.html">http://www.linuxnix.com/2013/04/linuxunix-shell-ps1-prompt-explained-in-detail.html</a>).<br>
<br>It just so happens that running QIIME changes you into a new shell, setup with all the necessary environment variables from running the QIIME commands, along with a custom shell prompt so that you know you are running within the QIIME environment. Hence the 'qiime >' instead of the '$'. You can still run commands as usual from that shell. If you type exit, it should return you back to your usual shell prompt with the $ instead.<br>

<br>
This is Krishna,<br>
<br>
I am a brand new to the analysis through Biolinux. I use BioLinux to work on QIIME platform.<br>
I do installed Biolinux & (powered by Ubuntu ) OS. I also have installed greengens and landmask file. However no use of this because of the reason in the terminal box.<br>
The terminal box miss the sign ""$" and it couldnt further proceed with this qiime. So I end up with the following comments,!!!<br>
I find very much difficult as I am new to Biolinux based QIIME. Could you please assit me with this?<br>
<br>
I have attached few outputs of terminal box which does miss the $ signs,<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
