    $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure partekflow

  6. (Optional) To manually configure Partek Flow or to set additional advanced options or environment variables, edit the following configuration file:
    /etc/partekflow.conf
    Note that all changes made by the reconfigure command in step 5 are also stored in this configuration file.

    $ sudo service partekflowd start
    A message should indicate that Partek Flow is now running:Starting Partek Flow server: OK

Download Genome Library Files

Partek-distributed library files and aligner indices can be pre-downloaded, to save time in the future (Figure 4). Unnecessary genome builds may be skipped by clicking the button before clicking Next.
All Partek Flow users share library files and the size of the library folder can grow significantly. At least 100GB of free space should be allocated for library files. For more information on library file management setup, see our Library file management user guide.
