[Bio-linux-list] How to update mothur?

[Maxime GOMMEAUX]

Dear users of Bio-Linux,

I have been an enthusiastic user of the Bio-Linux distribution for 
~2years and I appreciate it greatly.

I would like, however, to update the mothur package to try their new 
clustering algorithm, included in the brand-new release 1.39.

If I remember well, originally the version of mothur was 1.34 at the 
time I installed the distro. Some time later it upgraded to 1.36 
"automatically" (with the normal system updates), but it has been stuck 
since then.

Thus, I would like to update mothur "manually", but I don't want to 
wreck my system. Remark: the Ubuntu base is still 14.04 (I have refused 
the 16.04 upgrade to date, but maybe I should do this first???).

Thank you for any help!

Maxime
