My first APE run

Automated workflow composition with APE can be performed through its command line interface (CLI), its application programming interface (java API) or the RESTful API (RESTful APE). The CLI provides a simple means to interact and experiment with the framework, while the java API provides more flexibility and control over the synthesis process. It can be used to integrate APE’s functionality into other systems. Finally, the RESTful API provides an interface for users to engage with APE’s automated pipeline exploration capabilities through HTTP requests. RESTful API is also provided as a Docker container for easy deployment and management.

My first APE run

The first APE run is demonstrated using the CLI. The following steps guide you through the process of setting up and running APE on a simple example.

Get the latest version of APE_UseCases by either downloading the main (zip) or cloning the repository:

git clone https://github.com/sanctuuary/APE_UseCases.git

Download the latest version of APE-2.3.0-executable.jar and add it to the root of the project (~/git/APE_UseCases). Navigate to the root of the project and execute the jar with an argument that is a (relative) path to the configuration file.

cd ~/git/APE_UseCases
java -jar APE-2.3.0-executable.jar ImageMagick/Example1/config.json

See Use cases and Demos for more information about the results and on how to execute the composed workflow.
