We present the Biodepot Launcher, a desktop application that facilitates installation, management and deployment of bioinformatics workflows using the Biodepot-workflow-builder (Bwb). With the new app, Bwb can be started by double-clicking on an icon, eliminating the need for typing cryptic start up commands into the terminal. This creates an end-to-end graphical and easy-to-use interface to manage and launch containerized workflows on the local computer or cloud instances. Biodepot Launcher is written in React and Javascript, and uses the node.js framework Neutralinojs and web browser routines to allow the application to execute on Linux, Windows and Mac desktop environments.
我们展示了生物仓库启动器，这是一个桌面应用程序，可使用生物仓库工作流构建器（Bwb）来促进生物信息学工作流的安装、管理和部署。有了这个新应用程序，通过双击图标即可启动Bwb，无需在终端中输入晦涩难懂的启动命令。这创建了一个端到端的图形化且易于使用的界面，用于在本地计算机或云实例上管理和启动容器化工作流。生物仓库启动器用React和Javascript编写，并使用node.js框架Neutralinojs和网络浏览器例程，以允许该应用程序在Linux、Windows和Mac桌面环境上运行。
