BioGrids FAQ

Software version tracking in workflows

BioGrids software titles all have a version number associated with them. Most titles have more than one version available.

How do I set the version to use?

Every title has a default version. You can change the version in use by using the version override environment variable for the title.

On Linux: export SAMTOOLS_X=1.9

On Mac: export SAMTOOLS_M=1.9
