ARC Commander QuickStart (Expert Version)

last updated at 2023-01-27

⚠️ Before using this guide, please follow the Setup instructions in the ARC Commander manual

Checkpoint

✅ You know how to use a command line or terminal
✅ You have created an ARC before
✅ The latest version of the ARC Commander is installed on your computer
✅ You have a DataPLANT account
✅ Your computer is linked to the DataHUB via personal access token

🚀 Voila! You are ready to follow these few steps to create a minimal ARC sharable via DataPLANT's DataHUB.

Replace the <variables> in the following code block with your information and execute it in your command line.

# Create and navigate to your ARC folder mkdir <path/to/YourARCFolder> cd <path/to/YourARCFolder> # Setup the ARC structure with one study and one assay arc init arc i create -i <YourInvestigationID> arc a add -s <YourStudyID> -a <YourAssayID> arc sync -f -r https://gitlab.nfdi4plants.de/<YourUserName>/<YourARC> -m "initialize ARC structure"

💡 Make sure that no ARC exists at https://gitlab.nfdi4plants.de/<YourUserName>/<YourARC>. Otherwise you will sync to that ARC.

💡 The last command will prompt an Error ERROR: GIT: fatal: repository 'https://gitlab.nfdi4plants.de/<YourUserName>/<YourARC>' not found (Windows) or ERROR: GIT: fatal: couldn't find remote ref main (macOS). Don't worry, the ARC is being created at that DataHUB during this step.

💡 You might need to repeat linking your computer to the DataHUB first via
arc remote accesstoken get -s https://git.nfdi4plants.org.
