I have been an enthusiastic user of the Bio-Linux distribution for
~2years and I appreciate it greatly.
I would like, however, to update the mothur package to try their new
clustering algorithm, included in the brand-new release 1.39.
If I remember well, originally the version of mothur was 1.34 at the
time I installed the distro. Some time later it upgraded to 1.36
"automatically" (with the normal system updates), but it has been stuck
since then.
Thus, I would like to update mothur "manually", but I don't want to
wreck my system. Remark: the Ubuntu base is still 14.04 (I have refused
the 16.04 upgrade to date, but maybe I should do this first???).
Thank you for any help!
Maxime
