Installation Overview

Flowcelltool has been developed using the The Twelve-Factor App principles. This means that deployment is easily possible on a wide range of platforms, including “classic” virtual machines as well as PAAS servers.

Here, the following installation options are documented:

Install on Heroku

Heroku is a platform as a service (PAAS) provider. Flowcelltool can be installed as a “free plan” application with a few clicks and without software to install on your local computer.

Install on Flynn

Flynn is an open source effort for easily providing self-hosted PAAS services, similar to Heroku.

Install using Ansible

Install on a virtual machine. We document the necessary steps in an Ansible playbook. You can look at the Ansible playbook to figure out the steps for a manual installation.

Install Locally (Dev)

Create a local setup for the development of Flowcelltool.

After installation, refer to Getting Started for information on getting the big picture.s
