DISCo-microbe Installation

DISCo-microbe is a python based package that can easily be installed with pip or directly from our github page.

pip

If you have a native installation of python you can use:

>>> pip install disco-microbe

git

The newest development version of disco-microbe may be installed from our github page. You can use git directly, or download a zipfile.

>>> git clone https://github.com/dlcarper/Disco-microbe.git

anaconda

Anaconda provides the conda environment and is the recommended way to install DISCO-microbe if you are operating a Windows machine without a native python. Once you have anaconda installed, create a conda environment and then use source and activate to launch a python environment.

>>> conda create -n disco-microbe-env python=3.7
>>> source activate disco-microbe-env

You can now proceed with a pip install:

>>> pip install disco-microbe
