# nf-core/configs: Wellcome Sanger Institute Configuration

To use, run the pipeline with `-profile sanger`. This will download and launch the [`sanger.config`](../conf/sanger.config) which has been
pre-configured with a setup suitable for the Wellcome Sanger Institute LSF cluster.
Using this profile, either a docker image containing all of the required software will be downloaded, and converted to a Singularity image or
a Singularity image downloaded directly before execution of the pipeline.

## Running the workflow on the Wellcome Sanger Institute cluster

The latest version of Nextflow is not installed by default on the cluster. You will need to install it into a directory you have write access to

- Install Nextflow : [here](https://www.nextflow.io/docs/latest/getstarted.html#)

Nextflow manages each process as a separate job that is submitted to the cluster by using the `bsub` command.
Nextflow shouldn't run directly on the submission node but on a compute node.
To do so make a shell script with a similar structure to the following code and submit with `bsub < $PWD/my_script.sh`

```bash
#!/bin/bash
#BSUB -o /path/to/a/log/dir/%J.o
#BSUB -e /path/to/a/log/dir//%J.e
#BSUB -M 8000
#BSUB -q long
#BSUB -n 4
