Documentation
For comprehensive instructions and insights regarding JVARKIT, you can visit the official documentation at jvarkit.readthedocs.io.
Installation
Downloading and installing JVARKIT is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:
- Download the pre-compiled JAR file from this link.
- Once downloaded, ensure you have Java installed on your system.
Running Tools
Starting with JVARKIT’s tools has become more streamlined. Since 2023, most tools are packaged into a single application, jvarkit.jar. Here is how you can run them:
- Instead of executing individual tool JARs, you will now run:
java -jar jvarkit.jar toolname.
Keep in mind that the documentation may not always reflect this change, so make sure to have the tool name handy when you run your commands.
Understanding the Code – An Analogy
Imagine JVARKIT as a toolbox for a biologist’s research project. Each tool in the toolbox serves a specific purpose, whether measuring DNA, manipulating data, or running analyses. Previously, if biologists wanted to use each tool, they would have to go search for individual boxes. Now, with JVARKIT, all the tools are bundled in one box, making it easier to access them under one roof. Each time you want to use a tool, you simply specify which one you want out of the all-in-one toolkit by typing it out in the command line!
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues while setting up or running JVARKIT, consider the following troubleshooting tips:
- Ensure that you have the latest version of Java installed on your system.
- Double-check the tool name you are using when typing the command.
- Refer to the official documentation for guidance on specific tools or updates.
- If you’re using Docker, ensure that the container is properly pulled and that your command aligns with:
docker run java -jar opt/jvarkit/dist/jvarkit.jar.
