Quickstart

🐚 Bash workflow

1. Setup env

Install into your current env...

conda install -c bioconda autometa

... or create a new env

conda create -n autometa -c bioconda autometa

2. Download the bash workflow template, autometa.sh

3. Edit the input parameters

4. Run the workflow

🍏 Nextflow Workflow

1. Setup env

🧑‍🎓 This workflow requires only nextflow and nf-core be installed.

Install into your current env...

conda env update -n <your-env> --file=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KwanLab/Autometa/main/nextflow-env.yml

... or create a new env

conda env create --file=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KwanLab/Autometa/main/nextflow-env.yml
# Activate the env after creation
conda activate autometa-nf

2. Launch and run the workflow

nf-core launch KwanLab/Autometa
