Tutorial

Here are a few practical examples to become familiar with NextGenPB.

Disclaimer

In this tutorial, we will use the generic precompiled Apptainer container.
If you need a custom-built version (e.g., optimized for specific hardware or tuned for performance), please refer to the container installation guide.

If you are a developer (or simply prefer installing the code directly on your system), installation instructions are available for both macOS and Linux.

If you want to learn more about the input parameters and run options in detail,
please refer to the Guide.

Minimum Requirements

Requirement Description
OS Linux
Apptainer version ≥ 1.1
CPU x86_64 architecture

Note for macOS users

Apptainer is not supported on macOS. You can build and use the Docker container instead by following these instructions, and adapt the commands in this tutorial to use docker exec instead of apptainer exec. For more details, see the running containers guide.
