Installation

PyPi

peptides.py is hosted on GitHub, but the easiest way to install it is to download the latest release from its PyPi repository.

$ pip install --user peptides

Conda

peptides.py is also available as a recipe in the bioconda channel. To install, simply use the conda installer:

$ conda install -c bioconda peptides

GitHub + pip

If, for any reason, you prefer to download the library from GitHub, you can clone the repository and install the repository by running (with the admin rights):

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/althonos/peptides.py
$ pip install --user ./peptides.py

Caution

Keep in mind this will install always try to install the latest commit, which may not even build, so consider using a versioned release instead.

GitHub + setuptools

If you do not want to use pip, you can still clone the repository and run the setup.py file manually, although you will need to install the build dependencies (mainly astor):

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/althonos/peptides.py
$ cd peptides.py
# python setup.py build_py install

Danger

Installing packages without pip is strongly discouraged, as they can only be uninstalled manually, and may damage your system.
