2 minutes walkthrough

Tracer runs anywhere from the OS, just follow the steps below:
Use the Tracer CLI and dashboard below to start tracking your pipelines in minutes.

Step 1: Install Tracer - Only One Line of Code

Step 2: Authenticate with Tracer

This will open up a browser window to log in to your Tracer account.

Step 3: Initialize Pipeline Tracking

You will be prompted to configure the pipeline name. Filling this out ensures that each pipeline is uniquely identifiable, customizable, and easy to search later on.
Tracer is now tracking your pipeline.
Every run you launch for this pipeline will be automatically monitored.
Note: You will only need to run tracer init again for a new pipeline, not per pipeline run.

Step 4: Launch (y)our pipeline

Alternatively: Run your usual command (Nextflow, Snakemake, WDL, etc.)
Tracer works automatically once the agent is active.
Watch your pipeline run in the Tracer dashboard.
