2.1 Opening the Nextflow environment

To avoid installation and configuration issues we are going to deploy an environment for you containing Nextflow and its requirements.

If you want to open directly a GitHub codespace for this specific repository click here:

Don’t change the configuration and accept the default option. It says pay but you’re not paying…

If you want to do it manually go to course website

Click on button Code and click on the Codespaces tab. There click on Create codespace. Now your Nextflow environment will be built following the instructions in devcontainer.json file (i.e. installing Ubuntu, Docker, Nextflow, R, Python, VSCode and RStudio server)

📌 Remember: Please remember to delete your Codespace by the end of the class so that you do not consume your free Github codespace credits! If you do not delete it it will be deleted automatically days after you created.
