It is based on the dataflow programming model, which greatly simplifies the writing of parallel and distributed pipelines, allowing you to focus on the flow of data and computation. Nextflow can deploy workflows on a variety of execution platforms, including your local machine, HPC schedulers, AWS Batch, Azure Batch, Google Cloud Batch, and Kubernetes. Additionally, it supports many ways to manage your software dependencies, including Conda, Spack, Docker, Podman, Singularity, and more. ## Quick start Install Nextflow with a single command: ```bash curl -fsSL https://get.nextflow.io | bash ``` It creates the `nextflow` executable file in the current directory. You can then move it to a directory in your `$PATH` to run it from anywhere. Nextflow can also be installed from Bioconda: ```bash conda install -c bioconda nextflow ``` ## Documentation The Nextflow documentation is available for the latest [stable](https://nextflow.io/docs/latest/) and [edge](https://nextflow.io/docs/edge/) releases. ## Community You can post questions and get help in the [Nextflow community forum](https://community.seqera.io) or the [Nextflow Slack](https://www.nextflow.io/slack-invite.html). Bugs and feature requests should be reported as [GitHub issues](https://github.com/nextflow-io/nextflow/issues/new/choose). The Nextflow community is highly active with regular community meetings, events, a podcast and more. You can view much of this material on the [Nextflow](https://www.youtube.com/@Nextflow) and [nf-core](https://www.youtube.com/@nf-core) YouTube channels. The [nf-core](https://nf-co.re/) project is a community effort aggregating high quality Nextflow workflows which can be used by everyone. ## Contributing Contributions are more than welcome.
