 ===== Usage =====
 See versions of picard which are available:

-Load and run picard:
+Run picard:
-<code>$ module load picard/1.133
+<code>$ java -jar /export/apps/picard/2.26.1/picard.jar</code>
-$ picard</code>
 **Note:** Picard tools are CPU hungry; please use a minimum of 6 CPUs in your batch job when running tools from this suite.
+**Note:** Picard makes use of temporary storage in ''/tmp'' during analysis by default. You will probably run into "No space left on device" errors unless you specify a different temp directory, for example: ''TMP_DIR=/var/scratch''.
 ===== Installation ======
 Notes from the sysadmin during installation:
-<code>$ cd /tmp
+<code>$ wget https://github.com/broadinstitute/picard/releases/download/2.26.1/picard.jar
-$ wget https://github.com/broadinstitute/picard/releases/download/1.133/picard-tools-1.133.zip
+$ sudo mkdir -p /export/apps/picard/2.26.1
-$ unzip picard-tools-1.133.zip
+$ sudo cp picard.jar /export/apps/picard/2.26.1</code>
-$ cd picard-tools-1.133
-$ sudo mkdir /export/apps/picard/1.133
-$ sudo cp -rv * /export/apps/picard/1.133

-I created a generic ''picard'' wrapper for picard tools, as it must otherwise be run with ''java -jar ..'' and is rather unfriendly.<code>#!/usr/bin/env bash
-readonly PREFIX=$(dirname $0)
-java -jar $PREFIX/picard.jar $*
