1. Setup your computer

Assumption about your operating system

ReUMP is designed to work on Unix-like operating systems. Typically that means Apple OS X (Mac) and Linux.

Are you using Windows computer?

You may need to log in to a different computer running some flavour of Unix. Windows users may also consider using a virtualisation system such as VirtualBox to provide a Unix system for testing ReUMP.

Setup a Github account

If you don't already have a GitHub account then go to https://github.com/join to create one.

Check if have software container installed.

If you are using local machine, Docker should be used as the software container. You should be able to run the following command without reporting error.

Docker -v

If you are using high-performance computing, Singularity should be used as the software container. You should be able to run the following command without reporting error.

singularity version

Check you have git installed

In your terminal, type

git --version

If you don't have git installed, you can install it from https://git-scm.com/downloads. Advanced users may wish to install git from a package management system.

Check you have curl installed

In your terminal, type

curl --version

You will need to have curl installed. It is usually pre-installed on OS X and Linux.
