Installation#

Stable version#

Stable versions of SnapATAC2 are published on PyPI. Precompiled binaries are available for x86_64 Linux systems and macOS. So installing it is as simple as running:

pip install snapatac2

If there are no precompiled binaries published for your system, you will have to build the package from source. Building the SnapATAC2 library requires cmake >= 3.5.1 and the Rust compiler. You need to install them first if they are not available on your system. You can find the instructions for installing cmake here. The Rust compiler can be installed using:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Once you have cmake and the Rust compiler properly installed, running pip install snapatac2 will build SnapATAC2 from the source package and install it just as it would if there was a prebuilt binary available.

Nightly build#

The nightly build is the build from the latest source codes, which includes the latest features, enhancements, and bug fixes that haven’t been released. The nightly build can be unstable and include some untested features.

The nightly release page contains wheel files for the nightly build. Please download the corresponding wheel file for your platform and use pip install to install it. For example, if you are using a Linux system with Python 3.8, you can use the following command to install it:

pip install snapatac2-x.x.x-cp38-cp38-manylinux_2_17_x86_64.manylinux2014_x86_64.whl

Build from the latest source code#

Building the SnapATAC2 library requires cmake >= 3.5.1 and the Rust compiler. You need to install them first if they are not available on your system. You can find the instructions for installing cmake here. The Rust compiler can be installed using:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Once you have cmake and the Rust compiler properly installed, clone the source code repository and go to the snapatac2-python directory, use pip install . to install the package.

git clone https://github.com/kaizhang/SnapATAC2.git
cd SnapATAC2/snapatac2-python
pip install .

Optional dependencies#

pip install snapatac2 installs the essential dependencies needed for SnapATAC2. For certain features, however, additional optional dependencies are necessary:

  • harmonypy: For the snapatac2.pp.harmony function.

  • scanorama: For the snapatac2.pp.scanorama_integrate function.

  • xgboot: For network structure inference.

To install these optional dependencies, use pip install snapatac2[recommend].
