• Version 2.4.4, installed in /usr/local/apps/eb/IGV/2.4.4-Java-1.8.0_144

To use this version of IGV, please first load the module with

module load IGV/2.4.4-Java-1.8.0_144

To run IGV GUI, please follow steps as below:

1. log on to Teching cluster login node using ssh with X-forwarding being turned on:

ssh -X MyID@teach.gacrc.uga.edu

2. Once you log on, load IGV and run with its GUI forwarded to your local machine:

module load IGV/2.4.4-Java-1.8.0_144
sh /usr/local/apps/eb/IGV/2.4.4-Java-1.8.0_144/igv.sh 

3. When you start IGV for the first time, you might need to set it to use the UGA Proxy server. To do that, once the IGV windows opens, go to View -> Preferences and click on the tab called Proxy. On the Proxy page, select the box for "Use proxy", and fill in the following

Proxy host: webav.uga.edu

Proxy port: 8080

Proxy type: HTTP

Then click OK. These setting will be saved in a file called prefs.properties in a directory called igv in the user's home dir.

Then quit IGV and start it again, following step 2.

4. When you finished, please log out with:

exit
