Prepare The Reference Genome http://varsimlab.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide.html#installing-docker , show us the location and the content of manifest.json

[joselu]

I have downloaded and decompressed the reference genome. I have 4 files: "hg19.fa", hg19-targets.bed", "manifest.json" and "run.sh". The manifest.json file is:

{
"reference": “hg19.fa",
"targets": “hg19-targets.bed"

}

[joselu]

I ejecute "sudo ./run.sh" into the folder and I get the error above.

[Pierre Lindenbaum]

why 'sudo' ?

[joselu]

If I don't write sudo i get the next message:
