Requirements¶
Before installing VIP please check whether your system meets the following requirements:
- GNU-based Linux (e.g. Ubuntu, Windows Subsystem for Linux) with x86_64 architecture
- Bash ≥ 3.2
- Java ≥ 11
- Apptainer (setuid installation)
- 8GB RAM 1
- 220GB disk space
1) The memory requirements differ per workflow and depend, on the size of your input data, the scheduler that you use, the amount of parallelization. For example, executing VIP using a job scheduler will reduce the memory requirements on the system submitting the jobs to 1-2GB.
Optional¶
VIP auto-detects whether Slurm is available on the system and, if available, will schedule its jobs with Slurm. Otherwise, the jobs will be submitted on the local system.
