Create a Project

Admin-assisted setup

Project creation is currently handled by the CALYPR team. Submit a request and they will provision your project and send you the details you need to get started.

Step 1 — Request a Project

Email support@calypr.org with:

  • Your CALYPR account email
  • A short project name and description
  • The institution or program it belongs to

The team will respond with:

Detail Example
GitHub repository URL https://github.com/calypr/my-project
Project ID SEQ-MyProject
DRS server URL https://calypr-public.ohsu.edu
S3 bucket name calypr-my-project

Step 2 — Install Git DRS

If you haven't already, install Git LFS and Git DRS.

Initialize Git LFS (once per machine):

git lfs install --skip-smudge

Install Git DRS:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/calypr/git-drs/refs/heads/main/install.sh)"

Add Git DRS to your PATH:

echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin"' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

Step 3 — Clone and Initialize

Clone the repository provided by the CALYPR team:

git clone https://github.com/calypr/my-project.git
cd my-project
git drs init

git drs init configures the Git hooks needed for DRS-backed file uploads.

Step 4 — Configure the DRS Remote

Use the project details from Step 1:

git drs remote add gen3 production \
    --cred ~/.gen3/credentials.json \
    --url https://calypr-public.ohsu.edu \
    --project SEQ-MyProject \
    --bucket calypr-my-project

Verify the remote was added:

git drs remote list

* production  gen3    https://calypr-public.ohsu.edu

The * marks your default remote.
