IGV Installation

IGV

IGV stands for Integrative Genomics Viewer and is a powerful genome browser that we will be using over this workshop.

Every participant needs to install IGV on their own personal computer. This is one of the few pieces of software that will be run locally instead of on our cluster. IGV installation should be pretty straightforward, though:

After those steps, the installation is done!
