What is an NF file

NF files mostly belong to Nextflow. NF files are Nextflow workflow scripts written as shell scripts. These files define a series of commands that run automated tasks in data processing pipelines.

The file contains code that organizes steps and processes in a workflow.

You can open them with any plain text editor such as Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code.

The scripts are executed by the Nextflow engine, which manages job scheduling on local and cloud environments.

FilExt.com tip: Additional details and resources are available at the Nextflow website.

How do you open NF files?

You need a suitable software like Nextflow to open an NF file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your NF file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a NF file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
