Installation

Choosing the Installation Location

As described in the documentation, 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 directory where you want VFVS and the workflow to be located, go to this directory:

cd <installation directory>

Downloading the Tutorial Files

The tutorial files can be downloaded here:

https://virtual-flow.org/sites/virtual-flow.org/files/tutorials/VFVS_GK.tar

The wget command can be used for downloading the file directly on the cluster:

wget https://virtual-flow.org/sites/virtual-flow.org/files/tutorials/VFVS_GK.tar

The tutorial files can now be extracted with the tar command:

tar -xvf VFVS_GK.tar
