Get started
From install to your first supermatrix.
Pick the interface that fits how you work. Every interface runs the same phylogenomic tools, so you can switch at any time.
Step 1
Install SEGUL
GUI
SEGUI app
Best for most users. Point-and-click tools on desktop, tablet, and phone.
System requirements and other downloads →CLI
Command line
Best for pipelines, clusters, and very large datasets.
- Bioconda (Linux and macOS) →
$ conda install bioconda::segul - Cargo (any platform with Rust) →
$ cargo install segul - Pre-built binary (Linux and macOS) →
$ curl -fsSL https://segul.app/install.sh | sh
Step 2
Try an example dataset
Small alignment datasets in every supported format, ready for a first run.
Step 3
Follow a workflow
Build a phylogenomic supermatrix
Summarize → Filter → Concatenate
Check a sequencing run
Read summary → Contig summary
Clean up sample names
Extract IDs → Rename
Reformat for another program
Convert → Partition
Platforms
Where SEGUL runs
Native builds for ARM and x86 CPUs. Not sure which to choose? Read CLI vs GUI.
