Does EPI2ME Desktop need an internet connection?
Does EPI2ME Desktop need an internet connection?
The EPI2ME Desktop Application expects an internet connection. The application installs and updates workflows upon user request; workflows are not preinstalled. The Nextflow code for the workflows is downloaded from GitHub, Docker containers are downloaded from DockerHub and example datasets are downloaded from the EPI2ME AWS bucket.
The new .2ME portable workflow functionality simplifies these installation requirements and will enable offline analysis of bioinformatics datasets.
