Run SeqMan NGen through the command line

To create a script:

Either:

• Use the SeqMan NGen wizard to create the script. Rather than pressing the Assemble button at the end, simply save the script.

• Create a text file from scratch using the commands and parameters for XNG or SNG. Save the script with the file extension .script.

To run the script using the command line:

1. Open the command shell (Win) or Terminal (Mac).

2. Type one of the following commands:
   
   
   • sng [path to script]
     
     
   • xng [path to script]

*Note: If SeqMan NGen does not run immediately, it is possible that the application has not been added to your environment variable PATH. After installing SeqMan NGen on a computer for the first time, command-line users may want to restart the computer before using the application. Restarting will add the application to your environment variable PATH. If you are unable to restart your computer, the following two options are available:

* Use the SeqMan NGen wizard to run the script.

* At the command-line, specify the path to the application, followed by the path to the script.
