Getting Started The best way to get started with Geneious is to try out some of our tutorials. The ”Tutorial” option under the Help menu in Geneious provides an inbuilt tutorial with a basic introduc- tion to the major features of Geneious. Additional tutorials on specialized functions can be downloaded from our website http://geneious.com/tutorials. For additional information and help with troubleshooting, please visit the Geneious support website at http://support.geneious.com. 1.1 Downloading & Installing Geneious Geneious is free to download from http://geneious.com/download. If you are using Geneious for the first time you will be offered a free trial. If you have already purchased a license you can enter it when Geneious starts up. To download the latest version of Geneious, click on http://geneious.com/download (or type it in to your internet browser), choose the version of Geneious you want to download and click Download. If you have a 64-bit Linux or Windows machine, ensure you check the ”64-bit” box. Geneious is compatible with the three most common operating systems: Windows, Mac, and Linux. Check that you have one of the following OS versions before you launch Geneious: Operating System System requirements Windows XP/Vista/7/8 Mac OS 10.6/10.7/10.8/10.9 Linux CentOS 6/RHEL6/Ubuntu Desktop LTS 9 10 CHAPTER 1. GETTING STARTED We recommend at least the following specifications for running Geneious (note that these are minimum requirements - for working with large datasets such NGS sequences you will need a higher-spec machine): • Processor: Intel x86/x86 64 • Memory: 2048 MB or more • Hard-disk: 2GB or more free space • Video: 1024x768 resolution or higher Geneious also needs Java 1.6 or higher to run. Geneious comes bundled with the correct version of Java for your OS. If you require a version of Geneious that does not include Java, please contact Geneious Support. Once Geneious has downloaded, double left-click on the Geneious icon to start installing the program. While this is happening, you will be prompted for a location to install Geneious. Please check that you are satisfied with the location before continuing. If you are using Mac OS X you will only have to double click on the disk image that is down- loaded then drag the Geneious application to your Applications folder. Don’t run Geneious from the mounted disk image as there are no write permissions on this. You must drag the icon into your Applications
