# 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. ## 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#) A recommended place to move the `nextflow` executable to is `~/bin` so that it's in the `PATH`. Nextflow manages each process as a separate job that is submitted to the cluster by using the `bsub` command. If asking Nextflow to use Singularity to run the individual jobs, you should make sure that your account has access to the Singularity binary by adding these lines to your `.bashrc` file ```bash [[ -f /software/modules/ISG/singularity ]] && module load ISG/singularity ``` 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 < $PWD/my_script.sh` ```bash #!/bin/bash #BSUB -o /path/to/a/log/dir/%J.o #BSUB -e /path/to/a/log/dir/%J.e #BSUB -M 8000 #BSUB -q oversubscribed #BSUB -n 2 export HTTP_PROXY='http://wwwcache.sanger.ac.uk:3128' export HTTPS_PROXY='http://wwwcache.sanger.ac.uk:3128' export NXF_ANSI_LOG=false export NXF_OPTS="-Xms8G -Xmx8G -Dnxf.pool.maxThreads=2000" export NXF_VER=22.04.0-5697 nextflow run \ /path/to/nf-core/pipeline/main.nf \ -w /path/to/some/dir/work \ -profile sanger \ -c my_specific.config \ -qs 1000 \ -resume ## clean up on exit 0 - delete this if you want to keep the work dir status=$? if [[ $status -eq 0 ]]; then rm -r /path/to/some/dir/work fi ```
