21.4 Running workflows from the CLI

Workflows configured in the GUI interface can be exported and run in the command line in a similar way to the options profile file.

First, set up your workflow within Geneious using the Manage Workflows tool. Then click the Export option to export it to a file.

You can then call this file in the command line using the option -w workflow_name.geneiousWorkflow.

For example
geneious -i inputfile.geneious -x myworkflow.geneiousWorkflow -o outputfile.geneious

Note that if there are spaces in the workflow name, it should be enclosed in quotes ("my workflow name.geneiousWorkflow).
