Welcome to WDL Runner!

Welcome to our user-facing documentation for the wdl_runner tool!

This is a convenient tool which handles:

  • Spinning up a Cromwell server on a GCP VM
  • Launching a WDL workflow by submitting it to the newly created Cromwell server.

Since github repository documentation can get pretty heavily biased towards developers, these pages are intended to help new users to:

  • Get started with wdl_runner from scratch
  • Learn how to use wdl_runner in a variety of situations
