Because MEGA includes many statistical methods for the study of molecular evolution in an interactive framework, it is instructive for classroom teaching. If you are interested in using MEGA in the classroom (or common computing lab), there are no restrictions. Your students may download a copy from the website www.megasoftware.net or you may install copies on multiple computers in a common computing area (like a computing lab). However, if you want to use MEGA in any other form, please contact the authors by e-mail (s.kumar@temple.edu).
If you are using MEGA in classroom teaching, please send us the following information by e-mail for our records (s.kumar@temple.edu). (1) Your name, position and institution, (2) course number and title, (3) number of students, and (4) course semester and year.
***Note for administrators*** If you need to perform a mass installation of MEGA, the installer can be run from a batch script or command line using the /SILENT /VERYSILENT flags. Then MEGA will be installed with default options. For example:
MEGA7.00_setup.exe /SILENT /VERYSILENT
