Installation

This part shows how to install BioKowloon in a virtual environment.

---

It is recommended to install BioKowloon in a virtual environment, such as conda. This will isolate the package from your system Python installation and prevent any conflicts with other packages.

Create a virtual environment

• Install conda if you don’t already have it. For the usage of conda, please refer to conda documentation.

• Create a new virtual environment named deside and activate it:

conda create -n biokowloon python=3.10
conda activate biokowloon

Update pip

Since we are using pyproject.toml to manage dependencies, the minimum required version of pip should be 10.0 or higher.

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

Install DeSide

pip install biokowloon
