java $JAVA_OPTS -Xmx1g -jar igb_exe-VERSION.jar

The Xmx1g flag is used to adjust IGB's maximum memory usage. For example, replacing the number with the value of "2" would set the heap size to 2 GB so that IGB can use 2 GB of memory.

Two or more instances of IGB can be opened at once by running the above code in a separate terminal window.
