Install CellStore

CellStore can be installed as a Docker container or as a Java JAR archive.

The Docker container is the suggested way of installing CellStore in modern Linux environments. Docker containers simplify setup and maintenance by isolating CellStore, its dependencies and its running environment from the host machine. Another advantage of using Docker containers is that it easier to transfer CellStore among machines or to automate its setup and update.

Installing CellStore as a Java JAR archive is suggested if you are not familiar with container technology, do not want or cannot install Docker, or if you are running a Windows or MacOS based machine.

CellStore can be run on all 64bit platforms supported by Docker (if using a Docker container), or the 64bit Java JRE 1.8 (if using the Java JAR archive). While the 64bit Java JRE 1.8 is available for virtually any platform, Docker is restricted to:

• Debian 7.7 LTS or later 1
• Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 or later 1
• Centos 7 or later
• Fedora 24 or later
• RHEL 7 or later 2
• Oracle Linux 7.3 or later 2
• SLES 12.x or later 2
• Windows 10 3
• Windows Server 2016 3
• Mac OS X 10.11 or later 3

1: Limited to currently supported Debian/Ubuntu versions.

2: On this platform, the latest Docker version is available only in paid form. It is possible to install a free legacy version.

3: On this platform, Docker is not fully integrated with the host machine and runs from within a Virtual Machine, which complicates memory management and usability. For this reason we do not suggest Docker for production use on this platform.

Some Packages are required on Linux distributions

• fontconfig (Excel export feature depends on it)
