Docker: Recommended for running on a personal computer

Step 1: Install Docker

Follow the instructions to install Docker Desktop. Installing Docker Desktop will install the command line tools (Docker CLI) that you need to run this pipeline. Link to Docker Desktop

Make sure you have opened the Docker Desktop app before moving forward! To check your installation was successful:

docker --help

Step 2: Pull the Docker Image from DockerHub

We've created a docker image with all of the dependencies for this metabarcoding pipeline already installed. To pull the docker image (similar to pulling a github repository):

docker pull alexandriaim/muri_image:latest 

This docker image should now be saved to your computer. To check that you successfully pulled the image:

docker images
