Prerequisites for Installing GenePattern

  • Java 8 or 9. Note that GenePattern will not run if Java 11 is installed.
  • Docker

Installing and upgrading GenePattern via Docker

This is now the recommended method for a local GenePattern installation.
Please see our website for installation instructions

Mac OS X Install - GenePattern as an app

Make sure you do not have Java 11 installed. Switching and disabling will not work.
Download the GPserver.app.zip file. Unzip, drag the GenePattern.app file to your Applications folder, then launch the application. You will be prompted to enter some basic configuration details and the application will terminate. Restart and you are up and running.
The user data and customization files will be added to the ~/.genepattern hidden folder in your home directory.
Should you need to delete GenePattern - simply delete the GenePattern.app file from your Applications folder, and remove the ~/.genepattern directory as well.

Note: GenePattern is currently experiencing Apple certificate issues. To install GenePattern you may need to enable applications from third-party developers. See the instructions here. Alternately you can launch GenePattern from a terminal window by going to the directory /Applications/GenePattern.app/Contents/Resources and executing the GenePatternServer executable located there.

Linux Install

Download the 'GPserver.bin' file. Then run the installer in headless mode.
