Can I run CeleScope on my personal computer?

Although possible, it is not recommended to run CeleScope on a normal desktop/laptop. We recommend running CeleScope on a workstation, a computing cluster or using a cloud computing provider such as Google Cloud or Amazon Web Service (AWS). The mapping step in particular requires a lot of memory (minimum of 32 GB but ideally 64 GB). Furthermore, the raw data fastq files as well as the mapping files are huge (in the order of tens to hundreds of gigabytes) and will quickly eat up your storage space. We also recommend installing CeleScope in its own conda environment to avoid clashes with other preinstalled packages.
