Episode 2: Executing workflows on your data

Learning objectives

The goal of this workshop is to provide training on how to execute workflows in the Bwb using your data. In particular, we will discuss data transfer and loading workflows from GitHub. You are expected to follow training videos and use Bwb to perform analytical tasks.

There are two types of data transfer in Bwb:

  • Data transfer within the workflow on the virtual machine (VM) instance
  • Data transfer between your local host and the cloud

In this episode, we will focus on data transfer within the VM instance. In particular, you will:

  • Acquire hands-on experience accessing local data (i.e. data already stored in the VM instance).
  • Use the “DownloadURL” widget in a Bwb workflow to download files from a given URL and/or from Google Drive.
  • Learn how to load additional workflows from GitHub repositories into Bwb
