⁠Using the DIAMOND image in Linux

To run an application, you should adapt and run the following command: docker run --rm -v /your/data/dir:/data pegi3s/diamond <command> <options>

In this command, you should replace:

• /your/data/dir to point to the directory that contains the input files you want to analyze.
• <diamond> to the name of the DIAMOND command you want to use.
• <options> with the specific options of the DIAMOND application. These options will include the input/output files, which should be referenced under /data/.

Please note that data must be under the same drive than the Docker Toolbox installation (usually C:) and in a folder with write permissions (e.g. C:/Users/User_name/).

As in the Linux case, to run an application, you should adapt and run the following command: docker run --rm -v "/c/Users/User_name/dir/":/data pegi3s/diamond <command> <options>
