3.1.1. Usage

To use this tool the user must know the profile that will be used to replace-self. This can be obtained easily with koan.

 
genome-replace-self --help

# Select a profile from the list this command returns
koan -s [Your Genome Repo machine] --list=profiles 

# Only certain types of machines require the -m (metadata) flag
genome-replace-self -c [Your Genome Repo machine] -p [Profile selected in previous step]

Note

Ideally which profile to select should be obvious based on the names. A good practice is to have the profiles include both the architecture and operating system in the name.
