Hi Noah,

In theory you can, but you'd need to install all the dependent software. So for example, you could modify the install_linux.sh file for mac binaries where available and/or change the tools.groovy file to point to all the required software. You would definitely need to have a c compiler installed on your mac.

However, for anything but very small fastq file, I'd advise using a server or HPC because of the computational resources required. Best of luck.

Cheers,
Nadia.

@nadiadavidson okay thanks! How big do you consider a 1gb-3gb fastq file to be?

Hi @itslittman, although not the largest, they would take quite a while to process I think.

Best of luck!
