Follow the below links to install Docker on various operating systems
The below steps worked on MacBook Pro (OS X High Sierra)
$ docker pull srivathsapv/wga-essentials
$ docker run -it -d -v <source_code_path>:/root/source_code srivathsapv/wga-essentials bin/bash
Note: The <source_code_path> can be your working directory in your host machine (local machine). This enables the docker
container to access your local files (code and reads/reference genome files)
The above command will print a long hexadecimal string. Ex:
50c27954340f691c1e63655302a58349d48018b1610b8fe0092ba94a07e5914a
Take the first 6 characters of this string and execute
$ docker exec -it 50c279 bin/bash
This will take you to the bash of the docker container. To go inside the source code folder execute
# cd /root/source_code
Assume you have a ref.fa file in your source_code folder. Then run the following command
# samtools faidx ref.fa
If this command executes successfully, it means your setup process is complete.

Many thanks to phizaz/bioconda from where I took the base images for python3 and miniconda.
