Synapse

Some datasets must be downloaded from Synapse. An example is the UK Biobank Pharma Proteomics Project Summary Statistics. While the build system can automate these downloads, each user must provide their own Synapse Personal Access Token.

Steps to Set Up Synapse Access Token

  1. Go to https://www.synapse.org/, and create an account.
  2. Click Account Settings \(\to\) Personal Access Tokens \(\to\) Manage Personal Access Tokens \(\to\) Create New Token.
  3. Create a file ~/.synapseConfig at the root of your user directory. Edit it so it has the following contents:
[default]
authtoken = <YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN>
