Create your VM

Go to BioSphere and create a new VM with the following settings:

  • UBUNTU 22.04 (not desktop)
  • 32 Gb of RAM
  1. Follow this link will bring you to the Ubuntu 22 image
  2. Click on “Run” then “Advanced configuration and run”
  3. Give your VM a nice name
  4. Choose the ifb.m4.2xlarge (8 vCPU, 32GB GB RAM, 200GB GB local disk) configuration.
  5. Click “Start now”

Setting up your EBAME VM

We made a small script to help you set up your VM.

Execute it from the terminal:

# Execute a script to install dependencies and configure env
curl -sSL "curl -sSL "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/telatin/593b5b7ce54fc644725e0ecc02394d34/raw/setup_vm.sh" > setup.sh
" > setup.sh

bash setup.sh

Finally:

# Make conda ready to work
conda init bash

# Apply modified settings
source ~/.bashrc
What is this script doing? The script will check if you are on an EBAME VM. Then will install some dependencies, and make a bookmark for the data directory.

Using GNU Screen

:warning: if the connection to a remote machine drops, the running programs will be terminated.

See a small tutorial on GNU screen :link: on how to manage this problem.
