Installation

This page describes how to setup an instance of CellBase, and populate

Step 1 - Configuring the Server

Hardware

Which sort of hardware you need depends on how much data you need, query load, etc. A full CellBase instance is 1 TB of data, but loading only genomic data is XXX GB. Also loading and querying data is very resource intensive, we recommend at least XXX GB of RAM.

Software Dependencies

Below are the software dependencies required by CellBase.

• Java - we recommend you use the OpenJDK.
• MongoDB - put your mongo credentials in settings.xml ???
• Tomcat - put your tomcat credentials in settings.xml ???
• Docker - CellBase uses docker to house the Perl modules required to query Ensembl's Perl API.

Step 2 - Downloading the data

Step 3 - Building the data

Step 4 - Loading the data

Now that you have your own installation of CellBase, see Using CellBase  for information how to run queries.
