Note
This is an Auspice-specific installation guide. If you wish to use Nextstrain as a whole <docs.nextstrain.org:learn/parts>
, please refer to the Nextstrain installation guide <docs.nextstrain.org:install>
.
Auspice is a JavaScript program and requires Node.js to be installed on your system. Refer to engines.node
in package.json for currently supported versions.
We recommend using Conda to create an environment with a specific version of Node.js. It's possible to use other methods, but these are the instructions for Conda:
conda create -c conda-forge --name auspice nodejs=16
conda activate auspice
npm install --global auspice
If you look at the release notes <../releases/changelog>
you can see the changes that have been made to Auspice (see your version of Auspice via auspice --version
). To upgrade, you can run
npm update --global auspice
See DEV_DOCS.md <https://github.com/nextstrain/auspice/blob/-/DEV_DOCS.md#developer-installation>__.
If installation worked, you should be able to run auspice --help
.
