```
cd /home/u035/project/software/install
wget https://raw.github.com/bcbio/bcbio-nextgen/master/scripts/bcbio_nextgen_install.py

ulimit -n 4096

python bcbio_nextgen_install.py /home/u035/project/software/bcbio \
  --tooldir /home/u035/project/software/bcbio/tools \
  --genomes hg38 --aligners bwa \
  --datatarget variation --datatarget gnomad \
  --datatarget vep --datatarget dbnsfp --cores 32 &> bcbio_install_YYYYMMDDhhmm.log
