Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field, and the toolkit or technology stack used in bioinformatics is also quite “interdisciplinary”. The level of fragmentation is, in my opinion, absolutely not less than that of Linux distributions… This also brings us a common challenge: the deployment of bioinformatics analysis environments.
Today, I needed to deploy an RStudio server for someone else. Here are the steps and key points of the deployment.
When installing software, I thought that the portability and feasibility of using conda were better, so I decided to try it out and see how Snakemake works…
Due to work requirements, I needed to install a package mentioned in a literature. Initially, I thought it would be done with two commands, but who knew there were so many dependencies to resolve… and R packages on Linux need to be compiled, which is quite time-consuming… Fortunately, there’s Conda!
