ACGT14 VM - Nextflow

Virtual machine for the Nextflow tutorial

Prerequisites

This project contains a Vagrant configuration file that will allow you to setup the virtual machine used at ACGT14 workshop for the Nextflow tutorial.

In order to use it, you will need to install the following pieces of software:

• Virtual Box (suggest version 4.3.12) https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
• Vagrant (version 1.5 or greatet) http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html

Setup

To Clone the ACGT14 virtual machine, you have Clone the ACGT14 virtual machine (this project) in a convenient location by using the command:

$ git clone https://github.com/nextflow-io/ACGT14-vm.git

Change to the ACGT14-vm folder and launch vagrant:

$ cd ACGT14-vm/
$ vagrant up  

The first time you run it, it will automatically download the virtual machine required by the tutorial. It may take some minutes to complete, so be patient.

When it has booted up and the configuration steps are terminated, login into the VM instance:

$ vagrant ssh 

You are now in the virtual machine. Now you can verify that Nextflow is working by entering the command:

$ nextflow -version
