Learning objectives

We have been using Bwb on GitPod instances in our demonstration and exercises so far. In this workshop, we will discuss how you can run Bwb on your own local computer or on the cloud. We will start with options to run Bwb locally that assumes minimal technical expertise. In the advanced cloud workshop, familiarity with cloud computing and Amazon Web Services (AWS) is assumed.

After completing this episode, you will be able to run Bwb on your own local computer or on the cloud. We will explore 3 options to deploy Bwb:

  • Biodepot Launcher: a web app to install, manage and execute bioinformatics workflows
  • Alternatively, you can launch Bwb manually using Docker commands
  • You can also deploy Bwb on the cloud via either the Biodepot Launcher or setting up a virtual machine instance on AWS.
