nucleob performs a simple statistical analysis of .fasta files with either nucleotide or amino acid sequences. It is designed to give (1) highly reliable and (2) clearly formatted results, being also (3) supremely minimalist and (4) cross-platform with no system dependencies.

You can modify and fork nucleob under terms of the MIT License. Citing nucleob in a research article, always refer to a specific program version, e.g.:
Bajdek, P., 2022. nucleob (version 1.0.0). [computer software] https://github.com/piotrbajdek/nucleob
nucleob should run smoothly on Windows and macOS, and can be installed by the use of cargo. Yet, it is being developed and tested on Fedora Linux.
1. Install from crates.io by the use of cargo:
cargo install nucleob
By default, the file will be downloaded to .cargo/bin/, a hidden folder in your home directory.
2a. For convenience, you will probably want to copy nucleob to /usr/bin/ as in Method 2 (3a, 3b).
2b. Alternatively, add ~/.cargo/bin directory to your PATH variable (see documentation of your shell).
1. Download the binary 'nucleob' for Linux x86_64 from GitHub:
https://github.com/piotrbajdek/nucleob/releases/tag/v1.0.0
2. Make the file executable:
sudo chmod +x ./nucleob
3a. On most Linux distros, install nucleob via copying the binary to /usr/bin/:
sudo cp nucleob /usr/bin/
3b. On Fedora Silverblue / Kinoite:
sudo cp nucleob /var/usrlocal/bin/
Download and unpack the nucleob source from GitHub. Then, build and install the program:
https://github.com/piotrbajdek/nucleob/releases/tag/v1.0.0
cargo build --release && sudo cp target/release/nucleob /usr/bin/
