GUMPP workflow is available as a Singularity image, which may be run under Singularity version 3.x.
Please consult GUMPP Users' Manual for further instructions.
 
The most recent GUMPP version 1p was released on 5. 3. 2023 (summany of changes).
Download link for GUMPP 1P (5.4 GB).
Download link for GUMPP 1N (5.4 GB).
Please note. GUMPP image is fairly large because it contains all fully preconfigured programs and databases.
Optionally, advanced users may want to check integrity of downloaded GUMPP image by examining its SHA256 hash, which is calculated with the sha256sum utility.
To quickly start using GUMPP, please follow instruction in the Quick Start Guide.
To fully utilize GUMPP's capabilities, a more elaborate configuration file may be prepared according to the instructions in the GUMPP Users' Manual. A good starting point is the following configuration template file, which also includes a fair amount of comments and explanations.
Download link for GUMPP's configuration template file.
To make a test run of the GUMPP workflow, create a new directory within your home directory and download below demo configuration file into it. Then follow instructions within the file.
