Summary
This article describes the setup of the UCSC Genome Browser in a Box (GBiB).
Requirements
Description
Step 1
Download GBiB (Genome Browser Store[4])
You will need at least 20GB free space (you can also use an external hdd/ssd).
Step 2
Unzip the gbib.zip file:
- Windows: use 7zip or WinRAR
- MacOS: double-click on zip-file (do not unzip via command-line)
Step 3
Add GBiB to VirtualBox:
- Double-click on browserbox.vbox file
OR
- Start VirtualBox, select Machine >> Add, and open the file browserbox.vbox
- Finally, start GBiB in VirtualBox by clicking Start(en); now some updates will be done - this might take a few minutes.
Step 4
In a browser open the Genome Browser by entering the following address:
127.0.0.1:1234
(avoid using localhost:1234)
