Dependencies

The following dependencies are required to run Procrustes properly,

To test Procrustes, the following dependencies are required,

Installation

It is recommended to install qc-procrustes within a virtual environment.To create a virtual environment, we can use the venv module (Python 3.3+, https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html), miniconda (https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html), or pipenv (https://pipenv.pypa.io/en/latest/).

Installing from PyPI

To install procrustes with pip, we can install the latest stable release from the Python Package Index (PyPI) as follows:

    # install the stable release.
    pip install qc-procrustes

Installing from The Prebuild Wheel Files

To download the prebuilt wheel files, visit the PyPI page and GitHub releases.

    # download the wheel file first to your local machine
    # then install the wheel file
    pip install file_path/qc_procrustes-1.0.2a1-py3-none-any.whl

Installing from the Source Code

In addition, we can install the latest development version from the GitHub repository as follows:

    # install the latest development version
    pip install git+https://github.com/theochem/procrustes.git

We can also clone the repository to access the latest development version, test it and install it as follows:

    # clone the repository
    git clone [email protected]:theochem/procrustes.git

    # change into the working directory
    cd procrustes
    # run the tests
