horus-runtime is the command-line engine for the Horus platform, a free, multi-platform workflow manager designed for developers and scientists. It enables the creation, management, and execution of complex workflows, especially in biomolecular modeling and scientific computing, without any GUI dependencies.
- No GUI: This package is the runtime/engine only. For the full graphical experience, see the main Horus project.
- Modular & Extensible: Designed for integration, automation, and extension via Python.
- Open & Free: Developed by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.
- Workflow Execution: Run and manage scientific workflows from the terminal.
- Modular Blocks: Compose workflows from reusable, autonomous blocks.
