Repos Main Configuration

Lucie Hutchins edited this page Apr 10, 2018 · 4 revisions

This file contains global configs and should be modified after running the setup.sh script and before running any other script.

Make sure you have full permissions to create/delete on those base directories.

Package Base Directories

You only need to modify the following three base directories :

  • EXTERNAL_DATA_BASE
This is the base directory of all external Data sources - 
A directory is created for each downloaded source. 

Example:
EXTERNAL_DATA_BASE=/data/external

Then we will have -
- /data/external/ensembl -- based directory for all Ensembl releases downloaded 
- /data/external/wormbase -- based directory for all Wormbase releases downloaded 
....

  • SCRATCH_DATA_BASE
This is the base directory to store unzipped datasets - 
A directory for each downloaded source will be found here. 

Example:
SCRATCH_DATA_BASE=/data/scratch

Then we will have -
- /data/scratch/ensembl -- based directory for all Ensembl releases downloaded 
- /data/scratch/wormbase -- based directory for all Wormbase releases downloaded 
....

  • LOGS_BASE
All the logs generated from download scripts will be stored under LOGS_BASE/data_downloads

Example: LOGS_BASE=/data/logs
then logs will be under /data/logs/data_downloads
