+#### Manual installation:
  You may want to manually install metaWRAP if you want better control over your environment, if you are installing on a system other than Linux64, or you just really dislike conda. In any case, you will need to manually install the [relevant prerequisite programs](https://github.com/bxlab/metaWRAP/blob/master/installation/dependancies.txt). When you are ready, download or clone this ripository, carefully configure the metaWRAP/bin/config-metawrap file, and add the metaWRAP/bin/ directory to to the $PATH. Thats it!
