Installing and Getting Started

To install the latest release of rstoolbox, you can use pip:

pip install rstoolbox

Alternatively, you can use pip to install the development version directly from github:

pip install git+https://github.com/jaumebonet/RosettaSilentToolbox.git

Dependencies

  • Python 2.7 or 3.4+

Mandatory Dependencies

There is a hard minimum for ``pandas``. Version 0.23 is required for the library to work, as includes new features to ease the management of pandas-derived classes, which are key to this library.

Optional Dependencies

Functions with optional dependences are properly labeled as such in the API reference.

The pip installation script will attempt to download the mandatory dependencies only if they do not exist at install-time or their version is not the supported one.

Testing

Testing is easier when acquiring the code as a developer.

Bugs

Please report any bugs you encounter through the github issue tracker of the development branch.
