npm i -g seqdesk
seqdesk

When to use: Almost everyone. The supported install and upgrade path: the launcher downloads and runs the public installer for you, so you never call the shell script directly.

Requires Node.js 18+ and a reachable PostgreSQL database.

Detailed guide →

Requirements

  • Node.js 18+ (20 LTS recommended)
  • PostgreSQL (SeqDesk is PostgreSQL-only)
  • Linux or macOS
  • Optional, for pipelines: Conda / Nextflow (+ SLURM for clusters)

Quick start

  1. Install with the npm launcher above.
  2. Open the configured URL. The setup wizard checks the database and applies the schema automatically.
  3. Sign in with the seeded bootstrap account (admin@example.com / admin) and change it immediately.
  4. Invite your team and configure your facility.
