MIP can download many program prerequisites automatically via the mip download application mip download [PIPELINE]. References available for download in MIP are located in: definitions/define_download_references.yaml and the API is described here.
To add a new reference for download one needs to add a reference_tag and version_tag in the reference hash in the define_download_references.yaml file. Then you need to describe the meta data regarding your specific reference e.g the filename, url prefix, compression state etc, see the API for details.
To download you newly added reference using MIP, run:
$ mip download [PIPELINE] --reference_dir <reference_dir> --reference <reference_tag=version_tag>
This will create a batch file called download_reference.sh. To execute, run:
$ bash download_reference.shTo include the changes in the analysis - add your reference to your mip config.yaml file where appropriate.
