A docker image of NanoOK is provided on Docker Hub which includes all the dependencies needed to run. First, you need to have installed the Docker Engine.  Then you can pull the NanoOK image:

 

To run NanoOK, the easiest way is to run a shell in the NanoOK image using:

From here you will get a prompt from which you can run your NanoOK commands, for example:

When you have finished, type exit to end Docker.

Notes:

• In the docker run command, you need to map your data directory to the Docker image. This is done with the -v option. In the above example, the data on our local machine is in /path/to/your/data and this appears in the Docker image as /usr/nanopore, which is why we specify /usr/nanopore/YourSample as the sample directory to the nanook command.
• If you get an error from the docker command, it may be because you haven't sudo'd it, or added your user to the docker group - see How can I use docker without sudo?
