Use GRAFIMO via Docker (All Operating Systems including Windows and MacOS)

For MacOS and Windows users is suggested to run GRAFIMO via Docker.

The user can both pull an already built GRAFIMO docker image or build it from scratch. The user has also to ensure that Docker is currently installed and there are no too strict limits on the number of CPUs and quantity of memory that Docker can use (https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/resource_constraints/ for further details).

To pull the pre-built Docker image:

docker pull pinellolab/grafimo

To test the image is correctly running type:

docker run -i pinellolab/grafimo grafimo -h

If the help is correctly displayed, then the image has been correctly pulled

To build GRAFIMO Docker image from scratch, the user should clone or download GRAFIMO's github repository:

git clone https://github.com/InfOmics/GRAFIMO.git
cd GRAFIMO

and build the image:

docker build -t grafimo .

To test if the image has been correctly built, type:

docker run -i grafimo grafimo -h

If the help is correctly displayed, the the image has been correctly built.
