Installation and usage

Prerequisites - Install Docker Desktop

1. Create a folder that contains all the input images. This folder is where temporary working files/images will be stored, where output data will be written, and will be mounted as a volume in the Docker container.

2. Start the Docker engine and open up the Dashboard.

3. Use the search bar to find and pull the latest images from DockerHub:

   • wheelern/wrmxpress_gui
   • zamanianlab/wrmxpress

   Choose the most recent tags. The compressed images are >1.5 GB and >7 GB respectively, so they will take a few minutes to pull.

   

4. In the Images pane and Local tab, click the Run symbol.

   

5. Under Optional settings, make the following changes:

   • Under Ports, set the Host port to 9000
   • Under Volumes, set the Host and Container paths to be the path to the working directory created in step #1 (in the example below, the Host path is /Users/njwheeler/mount)
   • Add a new volume by clicking the + syumbol and set the Host and Container paths to /var/run/docker.sock
   

6. Click Run

7. Click the link to 9000:9000 or navigate to http://localhost:9000 to view the app.

   

8. Follow the guidance in the GUI to prepare and run your analysis.
