Install Snakemake

snakemake is the pipe-lining software that enables your DICAST runs. You can set up snakemake in a conda environment.

If you have never worked with conda before you might want to get conda first: https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/index.html

# create conda environment from .yml file with snakemake in it.
conda env create -f scripts/snakemake/dicast-snakemake.yml

# if you want to use DICAST, activate the "dicast-snakemake" environment
conda activate dicast-snakemake
