The following UGENE package delivery types are available on Linux:
- Online installer: updates to new versions are supported
- TAR.GZ archive: does not require Internet connection to be installed
- Native installation: available for Ubuntu and Fedora only, provides closer integration with the operating systems, requires administrative rights
Download links for the online installers and TAR.GZ archives are available on the "Download UGENE and components" page. Be careful to select a link for correct platform (64-bit or 32-bit).
Information about native installation on Ubuntu and Fedora is provided below.

Installation using TAR.GZ archive
Download the required TAR.GZ archive. Choose Standard, Full, or NGS package for your platform (64-bit or 32-bit). Note that the NGS package is available for 64-bit platform only.
- Unpack the archive - in the Terminal run "tar -xf archive_file".
From the unpacked folder run "./ugene -ui" (here "ui" states for "User Interface"). For example:
Code Block theme Midnight cd ~/Downloads tar -xf ugene-current-version-x86-64.tar.gz cd ugene-current-version ./ugene -ui
On a new UGENE version release, a notification will appear. However, to install the new version, it is required to manually download the package again.
