Workflow
#
Installing Bowtie with Spack
The flight environment will need to be activated before the environments can be created so be sure to run flight start
or setup your environment to automatically activate the flight environment.
- Create a spack software environment:
[flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ flight env create spack
- Activate the environment:
[flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ flight env activate spack
- Install bowtie:
<spack> [flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ spack install bowtie
#
Running a Bowtie Job
- Download example ecoli data:
<spack> [flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ wget -O ecoli.fq http://tiny.cc/ecoli
- Create a job script in the current working directory:
<spack> [flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ cat << EOF > mybowtiejob.sh
#!/bin/bash -l
#SBATCH -N 1
flight env activate spack
spack load bowtie
bowtie-build ecoli.fq e_coli
EOF
- Submit the job to the queue:
<spack> [flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ sbatch mybowtiejob.sh
The results can then be reviewed from the slurm output file for the job in the current working directory.
