Using Genozip on an HPC
How to activate Genozip for a 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: If you are not able to activate on the HPC’s login node or your batch script does not have access to your home directory, do the following:
​
1. Activate Genozip on another computer. You can skip this step if you have already used (and hence activated) Genozip on this computer:
​
genozip --activate
​
âž” The license file located at ~/.genozip_license.v71 on Linux and Mac and %APPDATA%\genozip\.genozip_license.v71 on Windows. Note that the file name begins with a ".".
​
2. Copy the license file to the target computer (any directory, any filename).
​
3. Use the --licfile option to point genozip to the license file, for example:
​
genozip --licfile mydir/.genozip_license.v71 mydata.bam
