You need a ansible installed locally
sudo pip install ansible
You need to manually download some packages that require license agreements. See tarballs/README
By default software will be installed to /software. So, if you want this to be on a separate mount, set that up before running ansible.
So far this has only been developed on Ubuntu 14.04
ansible-playbook -K -s -u powell -i hosts main.yml
or for only a specific task
ansible-playbook -K -s -u powell -i hosts main.yml --tags samtools
There are scripts to download various databases in scripts/. These have deliberately not been added to ansible.
Download blast databases
cd /references/blast
sudo -u sw-installer $(which update_blastdb.pl) --passive --verbose '.*'
