Tips
- When you extract the zip file of the pipeline, the pipeline must be able to start immediately after running the start bash script.
- When the pipeline has been started and the user is asked for input data, he/she always has to use absolute directories and not relative directories.
- Save all the input data and output data of the pipeline in subdirectories.
- Make the flowchart in that way, so that you can read it only from the left to the right or only from the top to the bottom. The name of each script has to be present in the flowchart.
- Program every script in the same language. Everything in only English, only French, only Dutch, only German, etcetera.
- The pipeline has to generate other output data file names for each different type of input.
- All the questions that will be asked to the user after starting the start bash script, must be asked first. After that, the pipeline starts. No more questions will be asked to the user.
- Program Bash echo sentences in the highway bash scripts that shows to the user on the screen, where the pipeline is running at the moment.
- Make your flowchart of the pipeline in the program Dia.
You can install Dia by typing in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install Dia - When you program R scripts, it is best to use RStudio.
- Make use of geany instead of gedit, because it is easier to work in geany for programming your scripts.
Instruction movie about the comparison between gedit and geany:
In the next instruction movie, a comparison is shown how it is to work in gedit and to work in geany. Geany is easier to work in than gedit.
