 ## Compiling
 
 ### Prerequisites
 
 #### NCBI BLAST+
 
-StxTyper needs NCBI BLAST binaries in your path (specifically tblastn). If you don't
-already have BLAST installed see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK569861/
-for instructions to install BLAST binaries.
-
-Blast can also be installed using bioconda by first installing bioconda, then making sure to activate the environment in which it's installed. 
-- See the [official install miniconda instructions for Linux](https://docs.anaconda.com/free/miniconda/#quick-command-line-install)
-- See the [official install miniconda instructions for MacOS](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html)

-    source ~/miniconda3/bin/activate
-    conda create -y -c conda-forge -c bioconda -n blast blast
