This will download and launch the [`ku_sund_dangpu.config`](../conf/ku_sund_dangpu.config) which has been pre-configured with a setup suitable for the PROFILE CLUSTER. + +## Modules + +Before running the pipeline you will need to load Nextflow and Singularity using the environment module system on PROFILE CLUSTER. You can do this by issuing the commands below: + +```bash +## Load Nextflow and Singularity environment modules +module purge +module load openjdk/11.0.0 nextflow/22.04.3 singularity/3.8.0 +``` + +## How to use the nf-core pipelines on PROFILE CLUSTER + +###1. set up .bash_profile +Add memory restrictions to `.bash_profile`. Use `vim` text editor to edit `.bash_profile` file (or create one if it does not exist in your home directory: + +``` +vi ~/.bash_profile +``` + +paste the following text within the file: +``` +# personalising the profile: change the value of the variable $abc123 to your own user id +abc123=def456 + +# In some cases, the Nextflow Java virtual machines can start to request a large amount of memory. We recommend adding the following line to your environment to limit this +export NXF_OPTS='-Xms1g -Xmx4g' + +# Don't fill up your home directory with cache files +export NXF_HOME=/projects/dan1/people/${abc123}/cache/nxf-home +export NXF_TEMP=${SNIC_TMP:-$HOME/glob/nxftmp} + +# Nextflow singularity image cachedir export +NXF_SINGULARITY_CACHEDIR=/projects/dan1/people/${abc123}/cache/singularity-images +``` + +then save the changes and exit the editor. Now you need to activate the `.bash_profile` by logging out and in again to PROFILE CLUSTER or by typing: +``` +source .bash_profile +``` + +The `$HOME` directory at dangpu has restricted space and should not be used to store cache files. Create those designated cache spaces for nextflow and singularity outside your `$HOME`: +``` +mkdir $NXF_SINGULARITY_CACHEDIR +mkdir $NXF_HOME +``` + +### 3. choose a nf-core pipeline and test it with your preferred settings +``` +nextflow run nf-core/rnaseq -profile test -c +``` +
