Install stable version through PyPi

There are a few dependencies needed to get proatac to run. All are very common bioinformatics tools / languages and should be readily available in most systems. However, note that the current implementation of proatac is not supported on Windows platforms.

Depending on your python environment, we generally recommend using a virtual environment to keep python dependencies tidy. An example of installing proatac inside a new python virtual environment called venv3 using the following sequence of commands–

python3 -m venv venv3
source venv3/bin/active
pip3 install proatac

Install via GitHub

Though not recommended, a bleeding-edge (development) version can be installed directly from Git. Again using a virtual environment–

python3 -m venv venv3
source venv3/bin/active
pip3 install git+ssh://git@github.com/buenrostrolab/search/tree/master/proatac

While installing proatac is obviously a great first step, make sure that all of the dependencies are met. Check out the next page for more detail.
