 - Copy the config.yaml file into your working directory and update it according to the instructions inside the file.
 - If necessary update resources_SLURM.yaml to define cpu and memory resources for each rule. The default section is the minimal resources per job. The other section take as name the rules name and define only resources that are different from the default section.
 - launch snakemake command as presented in SLURM.sh to launch the workflow.
 
-
 Resources_SLURM.yaml and SLURM.sh are specific to SLURM cluster. Therefore, if you use another cluster, you need to create other files. However, you can use these files to inspire you.
