Prerequisites

This discussion assumes you are familiar with Unix shell command line programming and scripting. You will be encountering and interacting with csh/tcsh, bash, perl, and python scripting languages. You will need at least one computer with several CPU cores, preferably a multiple compute cluster system or equivalent in a cloud computing environment.

Parasol Job Control System

The scripts and programs used here expect to find the Parasol_job_control_system in place and operational.

Install scripts and kent command line utilities

This is a bit of a kludge at this time (April 2018), we are working on a cleaner distribution of these scripts. As was mentioned in the parasol job control system setup, the kent command line binaries and these scripts are going to reside in /data/bin/ and /data/scripts/. This is merely a style custom to keep scripts separate from binaries, this is not strictly necessary.

 mkdir -p /data/scripts /data/bin
 chmod 755 /data/scripts /data/bin

 rsync -a rsync://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/genome/admin/exe/linux.x86_64/ /data/bin/
 git archive --remote=git://genome-source.soe.ucsc.edu/kent.git \
  --prefix=kent/ HEAD src/hg/utils/automation \
