Other packages for older UGENE version are available on the web page http://ugene.net/download-all.html.

- Unpack the archive.
Run the extracted "ugeneInstaller_64bit" executable file.
cd ~/Downloads tar -xf ugeneInstaller_64bit.tar ./ugeneInstaller_64bit
- Follow the installation wizard.
On a new UGENE version release, a notification will appear with an option to update the package.
Installation using TAR.GZ archive
Download the TAR.GZ archive.
- Unpack the archive - in the Terminal run "tar -xf archive_file".
From the unpacked folder run "./ugene -ui" (here "ui" states for "User Interface"). For example:
