Before we can start the tutorial, we need to set-up the environment with al the programs that we will need, as well as the retrieve all the data.

Environment

To enable us to jump into the tutorial quickly, a conda environments have been prepared for this tutorial which contains all the applications needed. At start of each section you must load the conda environment via a module and activate it

Open a terminal and navigate to your home directory (if not there already):
```
cd ~
```

Download this script:

$ wget http://docs.hpc.ufs.ac.za/training/genomics_tutorial/data/config_gen_tut.sh

Make the script executable:
```
$ chmod +x config_gen_tut.sh
```
Execute the script to set-up the tutorial directory ~/genomics_tutorial and download the tutorial data:
```
$ ./config_gen_tut.sh
