# Quickstart

> Get mining on Minos SN107 in under 10 minutes

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Bittensor Wallet" icon="wallet">
    A registered Bittensor wallet with a hotkey registered on **Subnet 107**.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Docker" icon="docker">
    Docker installed and running. All variant callers run in containers.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

***

## 1. Choose Your Variant Caller

Each tool has different strengths. Pick one to start with — you can switch later.

| Tool            | Compute             | Complexity          |
| --------------- | ------------------- | ------------------- |
| **GATK**        | High                | Many parameters     |
| **DeepVariant** | High (GPU optional) | Fewer parameters    |
| **FreeBayes**   | Medium              | Most parameters     |
| **BCFtools**    | Low                 | Moderate parameters |

***

## 2. Pull the Docker Image

Pull the container for your chosen tool:

```bash GATK theme={null}
docker pull broadinstitute/gatk:4.5.0.0
```

```bash DeepVariant theme={null}
docker pull google/deepvariant:1.5.0
```

```bash FreeBayes theme={null}
docker pull staphb/freebayes:1.3.7
```

```bash BCFtools theme={null}
docker pull quay.io/biocontainers/bcftools:1.20
docker pull quay.io/biocontainers/samtools:1.20
```

***

## 3. Tune Your Hyperparameters

This is where you gain your competitive edge. Each guide documents every tunable parameter:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="GATK Guide" icon="terminal" href="/guides/gatk">
    22 parameters across 9 categories.
  </Card>

  <Card title="DeepVariant Guide" icon="terminal" href="/guides/deepvariant">
    15 parameters across 6 categories.
  </Card>

  <Card title="FreeBayes Guide" icon="terminal" href="/guides/freebayes">
    22 parameters across 9 categories.
  </Card>

  <Card title="BCFtools Guide" icon="terminal" href="/guides/bcftools">
    22 parameters across 7 categories.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

***

## 4. Start Mining

Register your miner on Subnet 107 and start processing tasks. The validator will send you genomic data, and your tuned caller will produce variant calls that get scored for accuracy.
