Installing BLAST in OS X

These instructions apply to installing BLAST 2.2.22 in OS X, because this is the version that is supported and checked-for by QIIME.

Option 1: Installing BLAST within your user account

Follow these instructions to install BLAST in your home directory. Only do this if you are the only user on your computer. If the computer has multiple users, follow the instructions below for Option 2: Installing BLAST in a central location.
1.Download (but do not unzip) this file, and save in your Downloads folder:
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/executables/release/2.2.22/blast-2.2.22-universal-macosx.tar.gz
2. Unzip it in the Terminal using tar:
cd ~/Downloads
tar -xvf blast-2.2.22-universal-macosx.tar.gz

This should create a new folder called blast-2.2.22
3. Move it somewhere permanent - in this example, we'll just put it in your home directory.
4. Add the ~/blast-2.2.22/bin folder to your PATH using the nano text editor:

nano ~/.profile

This will open the nano text editor, editing a file called .profile in your home directory. Here you can add this line, referencing the directory that contains the BLAST executables:
export PATH=/Users/YourName/blast-2.2.22/bin:${PATH}
where 'YourName' should be your username (or, '/Users/Yourname/' should be your home directory name). If you aren't sure what your home directory is, you can open a new terminal session and type 'cd ~' followed by 'pwd'. You can then save your .profile file in nano by pressing Control-o followed by return to accept the file name. To exit nano, press Control-x.
Close your current Terminal session(s) and open a new one. Now, when you type this command:
it should state the location of the blastall executable file:
/Users/YourName/blast-2.2.22/bin/blastall


5. Make a ~/.ncbirc file that points to the BLAST data directory:
nano ~/.ncbirc

And put this text into the file:

where you should put in your username/home directory instead of 'YourName.' Save the .ncbirc file by pressing Control-o followed by return to accept the file name. To exit nano, press Control-x.
You should now have a functioning copy of BLAST, ready to be called from QIIME or anything else.

Option 2: Installing BLAST in a central location

These instructions will put BLAST in a central location so any user can run BLAST searches. You need to have administrative privileges to do this (i.e., you need to be an sudoer). If you are the only user on your computer, Option 1 may be better.
1.Download (but do not unzip) this file, and save in your Downloads folder:
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/executables/release/2.2.22/blast-2.2.22-universal-macosx.tar.gz
2. Unzip it in the Terminal using tar:
cd ~/Downloads
tar -xvf blast-2.2.22-universal-macosx.tar.gz

This should create a new folder called blast-2.2.22
3. Copy it somewhere permanent - in this example, we'll put it in the /opt directory at the root of the filesystem, so anyone can access the files.
(If the 'mkdir' command says that /opt already exists, this is okay.)

4. Add the /opt/blast-2.2.22/bin folder to your PATH using the nano text editor:

sudo nano /etc/bashrc

This will open the nano text editor, editing a file called /etc/bashrc. Here you can add this line, referencing the directory that contains the BLAST executables:
export PATH=/opt/blast-2.2.22/bin:${PATH}
You can then save the /etc/bashrc file by pressing Control-o followed by return to accept the file name. To exit nano, press Control-x.
Close your current Terminal session and open a new one. Now, when you type this command:
it should state the location of the blastall executable file:
/opt/blast-2.2.22/bin/blastall


5. Make a ~/.ncbirc file that points to the BLAST data directory:
nano ~/.ncbirc

And put this text into the file:

Save the .ncbirc file by pressing Control-o followed by return to accept the file name. To exit nano, press Control-x. EVERY USER needs to do this step in their own home directory. Any user running BLAST needs to have a ~/.ncbirc file.
You should now have a functioning copy of BLAST, ready to be called from QIIME or anything else.

'Worms Blast is a puzzle game similar in concept to Puzzle Bobble, with several important distinctions and gameplay features taken from Worms games. Instead of releasing and matching bubbles, the player has to color blocks on a hexagonal grid. Unlike most Bust-A-Move variants, the player character can move right and left, sailing in a boat. Various weapons, such as bazooka, grenades, dynamite, and others, can be used to fire at the blocks, coloring them on impact. Like in the main, artillery-based Worms games, holding down the fire button increases the power of the weapon, affecting the distance it travels.

If the player hits a block that is either the same color as the missile fired, that block and any other same-colored blocks adjacent to it will be destroyed. Differently-colored blocks will not be affected by shooting at them; however, if they are held solely by a group of blocks of the same color, they will fall into the water when that group disappears. Blocks with rainbows on them can count as any color. Unlike Puzzle Bobble, there are no walls in single-player mode. If the player aims the weapon outside of the screen, a heavy object might fall on the player-controlled boat, damaging it.

The game's main mode is called 'Puzzle mode': the player completes various stages, the goal being different in each (e.g. shooting down certain forms of blocks, avoiding hostile blocks that move around the screen, etc.). Beside this mode, the game features a single-player tournament mode with high scores, as well as a variety of multiplayer modes. The action component is particularly noticeable in this mode, since the walls between the areas will periodically open, allowing players to use this opportunity to shoot at each other's boats.' --MobyGames.com
