Installing SPRAS

SPRAS provides several convenient ways to use the package, depending on your needs

Using a Conda Environment

If you want to run spras locally on your machine, you can use the provided environment.yml file to create a conda environment with all the necessary dependencies: 1. Download and Install Conda 2. Build the spras conda environment and activate it:

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate spras

Installing SPRAS with pip

You can also install SPRAS as a package using pip directly from the github repository:

pip install git+https://github.com/Reed-CompBio/spras.git

Getting the SPRAS Docker Image

SPRAS also publishes a Docker image that already holds all the necessary dependencies. Assuming you have Docker installed, you can pull the image from Docker Hub:

If you want to pull a specific version of spras, use the version for the image tag name. For example, to get spras v0.2.0:

docker pull reedcompbio/spras:0.2.0
