Hands-on: Bring your own data

In the hands-on session, we would like to start creating an ARC together.
To do so, please bring some data!

This can be data of your current research project or an already published manuscript with supplemental data. Anything that you feel familiar with.

Recommended for trouble-shooting

💡 We will likely not use the tools on the next few slides. However, as of now (September 2023), it's probably better to have them ready for trouble-shooting and to show some inner workings of the ARC.

The command line

Find the command-line interface (CLI) on your system.

  • On Windows: Enter powershell into the explorer path
  • On MacOS: Search terminal via spotlight (⌘ + ␣) or navigate to Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal

💡 In our tutorials we sometimes use terminal, command-line interface (CLI) and powershell interchangeably.

ARC Commander Installation

Please install the latest version of the ARC Commander and dependencies for your operating system according to the manual's setup instructions.

Check if the ARC Commander is functional by displaying the ARC Commander version and help menu:

arc --version

Have a simple text editor ready

  • Windows Notepad
  • MacOS TextEdit

Recommended text editor with code highlighting, git support, terminal, etc: Visual Studio Code
