You should do this before you run bash start-server.sh

Start Server

Step 1:

The following script will output the URL that you should open in browser

bash start-server.sh

Step 2:

Please bookmark that address and always check if the server has already started. Repeated starting cancels existing jobs.

A Note on Job Time

A job may take hours or days if there are many HMM files. With the HMMSearch and FastTreeMap step being the longest.

The USEARCH option is faster and does not construct phylogenetic tree.
