</span>Hi, Flavia.<br>
<br>
Before you do anything, make sure your Bio-Linux 8 is up-to-date:<br>
<br>
sudo apt update<br>
sudo apt full-upgrade<br>
<br>
The .iso image used to create the DVD or USB-stick is just a snapshot of<br>
the Bio-Linux + Debian-Med + Debian + Ubuntu repositories at the time it<br>
was made: If you don't enable upgrades during an install, the first<br>
thing you have to do after installation is to update Bio-Linux.<br>
<br>
HTH,<br>
<br>
Tony.<br>
