[MeHelmy]

Hi!

Thank you for your effort.

using

git clone https://github.com/Snakemake-Profiles/generic.git
cookiecutter generic

Leads to this error:
cookiecutter.exceptions.ContextDecodingException: JSON decoding error while loading "generic/cookiecutter.json". Decoding error details: "Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 5 column 1 (char 89)"

Thanks,
Medhat

I continued to work on in here

Could you try:

mkdir -p ~/.config/snakemake
cd ~/.config/snakemake
cookiecutter https://github.com/metagenome-atlas/clusterprofile.git
```

You don't need to clone the repo first. 

[MeHelmy]

Your idea is good, but I have limited space in my home directory, so I need to download every thing in a separate location (I will also read the other repo and see if I can use the profile there).

If you want to place the profile in other location, you can read here about how this works: https://snakemake.readthedocs.io/en/stable/executing/cli.html#EXECUTION
