-So here we'll be using [DADA2](https://benjjneb.github.io/dada2/index.html){:target="_blank"} as our main processing tool. Additionally we'll be using [Brian Bushnell's](https://twitter.com/BBToolsBio){:target="_blank"} very handy [bbtools](https://jgi.doe.gov/data-and-tools/bbtools/){:target="_blank"}, specifically [bbduk](https://jgi.doe.gov/data-and-tools/bbtools/bb-tools-user-guide/bbduk-guide/){:target="_blank"}, to remove our primers and perform quality trimming. DADA2 is available as an [R](https://www.r-project.org/){:target="_blank"} package, with installation instructions provided by the developers [here](https://benjjneb.github.io/dada2/dada-installation.html){:target="_blank"}. If your experience is like mine, it shouldn't give you any trouble if installing on your computer, but you may run into some issues when trying to install on a server where you don't have authorization to do whatever you'd like (a huge thanks to [@phantomBugs](https://twitter.com/phantomBugs){:target="_blank"} for all his help when I was bugging him about that 🙂). If you'd like to use [bbtools](https://jgi.doe.gov/data-and-tools/bbtools/){:target="_blank"}, you can find installation instructions for it from the developers [here](https://jgi.doe.gov/data-and-tools/bbtools/bb-tools-user-guide/installation-guide/) and another example installation [here](/bash/installing_tools#bbtools){:target="_blank"}.
