Installing GenePattern

NOTE Our registration management is and will remain offline .
You can work around the need to register the server by adding this line to your
$GENEPATTERN_HOME/resources/genepattern.properties file and restarting the server.


registeredServer=true

The registration site no longer exists and failure to register otherwise prevents GenePattern from starting.

Installing and upgrading GenePattern via Docker

This is now the recommended method for a local GenePattern installation.
Please see our page for docker installation instructions.

Linux Install

Java 8 or 9 is required. Note that GenePattern will not run if Java 11 or later is installed.

Download the 'GPserver.bin' file from the server releases page. Then run the installer in headless mode. To override defaults create an installer properties file. Instructions on how to customize this file can be found in comments at the top of this example '/gp_home/resources/installer_example.properties'
