5- Finally, click in next to review VM settings and click in the import button;
6- Alternatively, it is possible to configure the same environment in your physical computer (Linux) or on another virtualization environment by downloading the script in the link below to automatically setup the bioinformatics environment;
https://github.com/jmartinsjrbr/introduction_to_microbiomics/blob/main/setup_vm.sh .
- Type the following commands to run it on linux terminal
chmod u+x setup_vm.sh
