Usage

First load the basespace module:

module load basespace

When the module is loaded, the Illumina BaseSpace command line client starts with the command:

bs

To be able to use this service, you must have an account in the Illumina BaseSpace service.

As the first step, you must set up your authentication so that you can access your data in Illumina BaseSpace. This is done by running the command:

bs auth

The authentication information is stored in your home directory on Roihu ($HOME/.basespace/default.cfg). Thus, the authentication needs to be done only once.

After that you can start working with your Illumina data. For example, available datasets can be listed with the command:

bs list datasets

Single dataset can be downloaded to Roihu with the command:

bs download dataset -i dataset_id -o local_download_dir
