Installation

Choosing the Installation Location

VirtualFlow should be installed on a fast shared scratch file system, rather than the home directory (which is often slow and/or has insufficient I/O capacities).

After having chosen the installation location, go to the directory were you want VFVS and the workflow files to be stored:

cd <installation directory>

[For more information about the installation location, see the corresponding section in the documentation.]

Installing VFVS

The tutorial files can be downloaded with the wget command:

wget https://github.com/VirtualFlow/VFVS/archive/refs/heads/vfvs-1.tar.gz

Then, the files can be extracted with:

tar -xvzf vfvs-1.tar.gz

Then we can rename the directory to something more meaningful. In our case we choose as name VFVS_GK (for glucokinase), since this is the target we will use:

mv VFVS-vfvs-1 VFVS_GK
