Getting started¶
Download¶
You can get the Kronos package from PyPi.
You can also clone it from GitHub repository.
Dependencies¶
You need to have the following dependencies installed:
| Program/package | Version |
|---|---|
| python | 2.7.* |
| ruffus | 2.4.1 |
| PyYaml | 3.11 |
| drmaa-python | 0.7.6 |
where drmaa-python is optional and you will need to install it only if you want to use -b drmaa when running a workflow on a cluster.
Info
PyYaml and ruffus are installed as dependencies when installing Kronos.
So, you would only need to install drmaa-python.

You can install Kronos using pip:
pip install kronos-pipeliner
or upgrade it by:
pip install --upgrade kronos-pipeliner
