How to activate Genozip for an HPC batch job

​​

Genozip requires activation prior to use.

 

Option 1 (easier): activate on the login node of the HPC with genozip --activate. You need to do this only once.

Option 2: Activate on another computer.​

​

genozip --licfile mydir/.genozip_license.v71 mydata.bam

​

or:

​

export GENOZIP_LICENSE=mydir/.genozip_license.v71
