System Requirements

Component	Comment
Operating system	Currently Aozan runs only under Linux (due to mapper binary dependencies).
Memory	By default 4096 MiB are allocated to the JVM for running Aozan. You can edit this value in the aozan.sh file with the -Xmx option of the JVM. Aozan launches external tools like bcl2fastq or Bowtie that also required memory. In the end, 8 GiB seems to be a good amount of memory to run Aozan.
Processor architecture	Aozan can run only under x86-64 architecture (due to mappers requirements). Multi processors or multi core systems (SMP) are highly recommended.
Java Runtime Environment	11 or above. You can check your installed jre version typing: $ java -version
bcl2fastq	2.17 or above.
BCL Convert	3.6.3 or above.
rsync	3.0.x or above.
Docker	1.7.1 or above, optional use in the demultiplexing step or to launch Aozan.
blast2 or blast+	2.2.26 or above, optional use in the quality control step.
