14 Preparation

14.1 Review Key Concepts

This 5-min video provides a high level summary of the exercises to follow. Several important concepts are introduced to provide context for the exercises (slides).

14.2 Clone Workspace

For this demo, you will need your own copy of the SARS-CoV-2-Genome Workspace. These instructions will walk you through cloning a copy of the Workspace.

14.3 Start Cloud Environment

Note that, in order to use Galaxy, you must have access to a Terra Workspace with permission to compute (i.e. you must be a “Writer” or “Owner” of the Workspace).

Open your Workspace, and click on the “NOTEBOOKS” tab. Next, click on “Create a Cloud Environment for Galaxy”. You should see a popup window on the right side of the screen. Click on “NEXT” and “CREATE” to keep all settings as-is. This will take 8-10 minutes. When it is done, click “LAUNCH GALAXY”.
