==Running Tutorials on Your Computer==
 
==Running Tutorials on Your Computer==
Starting Fall 2019 we adopt [https://www.docker.com/ docker] to run our course material . We have created various [https://hub.docker.com/u/statisticalgenetics docker repositories] with source material freely available from [https://github.com/statgenetics/statgen-courses github] for users to readily setup and reproduce our tutorials on their own computers. These docker images can also be used as production tool to run relevant software on your computer (Mac, Linux or Windows) or even a high performance computing cluster (if properly configured) for your own data analysis.

We adopt [https://www.docker.com/ docker] to run our course material, and we have created various [https://hub.docker.com/u/statisticalgenetics docker repositories] with freely available Docker images for users to readily run our exercises on their own computers using [https://docs.docker.com/desktop/ Docker Desktop]. These docker images are for multi-platform use (Mac, Windows, or Linux). More information regarding instructions to install Docker Desktop and to run the course material on your computer is detailed in the documentation below.

===Tutorial specific instructions===
We use a script [https://github.com/statgenetics/statgen-courses/blob/master/src/statgen-setup "statgen-setup"] to start the docker based environments for these tutorials. Please refer to the previous section for instructions on the installation of this script.

Please refer to the previous section for instructions on the installation of Docker Desktop and basic usages. 
  
Material and instructions for specific exercise are listed in each section below (''only those using statgen-setup command are relevant to our docker based tutorials''). They provide links to materials and a minimal set of commands to use for launching and running an exercise. Command "statgen-setup login" will allow you to start and login to a Linux command line environment (regardless of your current computational environment) to perform all analysis in command shells. This works for all the tutorials on this page. Additionally, some tutorials support command "statgen-setup launch" which will start a JupyterLab server to perform the analysis.

Material and instructions for specific exercise are listed in each section below. They provide links to pdf versions of the exercises and a minimal set of commands to use for downloading the docker images and running an exercise.

Tutorials for Courses

Running Tutorials on Your Computer

We adopt docker to run our course material, and we have created various docker repositories with freely available Docker images for users to readily run our exercises on their own computers using Docker Desktop. These docker images are for multi-platform use (Mac, Windows, or Linux). More information regarding instructions to install Docker Desktop and to run the course material on your computer is detailed in the documentation below. 

General instructions

Tutorial specific instructions

Please refer to the previous section for instructions on the installation of Docker Desktop and basic usages. 

Material and instructions for specific exercise are listed in each section below. They provide links to pdf versions of the exercises and a minimal set of commands to use for downloading the docker images and running an exercise. 

FastLMM & GCTA

To pull and download the docker image from the Docker Hub repository,

docker pull statisticalgenetics/fastlmm-gcta

To run the exercise from the downloaded docker image,

docker run --rm -p 8888:8888 statisticalgenetics/fastlmm-gcta

Mendelian Randomization

To pull and download the docker image from the Docker Hub repository,

docker pull statisticalgenetics/mendelian-randomization

To run the exercise from the downloaded docker image,

docker run --rm -p 8888:8888 statisticalgenetics/mendelian-randomization

Pleiotropy

To pull and download the docker image from the Docker Hub repository,

docker pull statisticalgenetics/pleiotropy

To run the exercise from the downloaded docker image,

docker run --rm -p 8888:8888 statisticalgenetics/pleiotropy

PLINK GWAS: Data Quality Control and Association Analysis Controlling for Population Substructure

These exercises run using a shared docker image, however the exercises are split into two separate notebooks.

To pull and download the docker image from the Docker Hub repository,

docker pull statisticalgenetics/plink-gwas

To run the exercise from the downloaded docker image,

docker run --rm -p 8888:8888 statisticalgenetics/plink-gwas

Power Analysis

REGENIE

To pull and download the docker image from the Docker Hub repository,

docker pull statisticalgenetics/regenie

To run the exercise from the downloaded docker image,

docker run --rm -p 8888:8888 statisticalgenetics/regenie

Regression and Intro to PLINK and R

These exercises run using a shared docker image, however the exercises are split into two separate notebooks.

To pull and download the docker image from the Docker Hub repository,

docker pull statisticalgenetics/regression-plink-r

To run the exercise from the downloaded docker image,

docker run --rm -p 8888:8888 statisticalgenetics/regression-plink-r
