Configuration files

Configs

The Bifrost pipeline uses two different types of config files:

Computer executor file

This file contains the information needed to run on a computer, either a local one or a cluster computer. This information is needed by nextflow. You can find more information on this on the Nextflow.io webpages.

Four executor files come with the pipeline:

• the 'slurm.config' and 'local.config' are used to run the pipeline on a slurm queueing system, and a local computer. Only one is used at the time.
• the conda*.config files. These may be used together with the two mentioned above, in cases when a conda environment is used.

Input configuration file

This file contains information regarding data that is to be processed, as well as options to programs.
