Get started

Use Fusion directly in Seqera Platform compute environments, or add Fusion to your Nextflow pipeline configuration.

Seqera Platform

Use Fusion directly in the following Seqera Platform compute environments:

See the Platform compute environment page for your cloud provider for Fusion configuration instructions and optimal compute and storage recommendations.

Nextflow

Fusion requires Nextflow 22.10.0 or later.

Fusion integrates with Nextflow directly and does not require any installation or change in pipeline code. It only requires to use of a container runtime or a container computing service such as Kubernetes, AWS Batch, or Google Cloud Batch.

Nextflow installation

If you already have Nextflow installed, update to the latest version using this command:

nextflow -self-update

Otherwise, install Nextflow with this command:

curl get.nextflow.io | bash

Fusion configuration

To enable Fusion in your Nextflow pipeline, add the following snippet to your nextflow.config file:

fusion.enabled = true
wave.enabled = true
tower.accessToken = '<your Platform access token>' //optional

The use of the Platform access token is not mandatory, however, it's required to enable access to private repositories and it allows higher service rate limits compared to anonymous users.
