The Command-line Agent allows the control of Nanopore analysis from the command line instead of a user interface. It contains the full functionality of the Desktop Agent, and is available for the Mac OS X, Linux and MS Windows operating systems. The Agent allows running several analyses simultaneously on one machine, operating from a server without a user interface, and automating analyses.

Note: you will need to create a profile to connect to the EPI2ME platform.
