Dependencies
============

These are the excellent software packages which have made this project possible. If you are using Ubuntu then you can install the correct versions of each of required software packages with something like:

.. code-block:: sh

    aptitude install python python-numpy python-scipy python-matplotlib python-biopython ipython
	
Alternatively you could try installing `Anaconda <https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/>`_. This has been tested with Polyphony on a Mac and worked well. Use the following to install Biopython. Everything else is installed by default:

.. code-block:: sh

	conda install biopython


**Absolute Requirements**

-  `python 2.6 or later <http://www.python.org>`_
-  `scipy <http://www.scipy.org/>`_
-  `numpy <http://numpy.scipy.org/>`_
-  `Biopython <http://www.biopython.org/>`_, especially the Bio.PDB module

**Highly recommended**

All following documentation assumes that you have these installed.

-  `ipython <http://ipython.scipy.org/>`_ , for interactive python scripting
-  `matplotlib <http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/>`_, for graph plotting
-  `PyMOL <http://www.pymol.org>`_, for interactive 3D visualisation. Open source version available on `SourceForge <http://sourceforge.net/projects/pymol/>`_ and there is also a `wiki <http://www.pymolwiki.org/>`_. It is available through the Ubuntu Software Center
