Quick start guide

GenomeHubs

easy-import has been incorporated as a core component of GenomeHubs[1], which provide a Dockerised solution to setting up a custom Ensembl genome browser with a SequenceServer BLAST server and h5ai downloads server.

A guide to running easy-import (in an EasyImport Docker container) as part of a complete GenomeHubs setup is available at genomehubs.gitbooks.io and is the recommended place for new users to start. The pages on this site provide a more complete description of the available configuration options for the easy-import scripts.

Very quick start...

If you just want to run some code to see what GenomeHubs and easy-import can do, install docker then:

cd
git clone https://github.com/genomehubs/demo
demo/import.sh
