# nf-core/configs: Academic Leiden Interdisciplinary Cluster Environment (ALICE), Leiden University Configuration
|
|
|
|
> **NB:** You will need an [account](https://wiki.alice.universiteitleiden.nl/index.php?title=Getting_an_account) to use the HPC cluster to run the pipeline.
|
|
|
|
The profile is configured to run with Singularity version 3.6.1-Go-1.14 and needs to be loaded as a module.
|
|
|
|
Before running the pipeline you will need to load Java and Nextflow. You can do this by including the commands below in your SLURM/sbatch script:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
## Load Java and Nextflow environment modules
|
|
module load Singularity/3.6.1-Go-1.14
|
|
module load Nextflow/21.03.0
|
|
module load Java/11.0.2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We also highly recommend specifying a location of a cache directory to store singularity images (so you re-use them across runs, and not pull each time), by specifying the location with the `$NXF_SINGULARITY_CACHE_DIR` bash environment variable in your `.bash_profile` or `.bashrc`.
|
|
|
|
All of the intermediate files required to run the pipeline will be stored in the `work/` directory. It is recommended to delete this directory after the pipeline has finished successfully because it can get quite large, and all of the main output files will be saved in the `results/` directory anyway.
|
|
The config contains a `cleanup` command that removes the `work/` directory automatically once the pipeline has completeed successfully. If the run does not complete successfully then the `work/` dir should be removed manually to save storage space.
|
|
|
|
This configuration will automatically choose the correct SLURM queue (short,medium,long) depending on the time required by each process. If there are
|
|
high memory requirements (>240GB), e.g. using MALT, use the 'mem' profile:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
run nextflow nf-core/eager -p alice,mem
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> **NB:** Nextflow will need to submit the jobs via SLURM to the HPC cluster and as such the commands above will have to be submitted from one of the login nodes.
