install

The easiest way to install abutils locally (on macOS or Linux) is to use pip:

pip install abutils

abutils does not run natively on Windows, but Windows users can use Docker (the brineylab datascience Docker container contains the entire ab[x] toolkit, which includes abutils):

docker pull brineylab/datascience
docker run -it brineylab/datascience

Stable and development versions of abutils can also be downloaded from GitHub. You can manually install the latest version of abutils with:

git clone https://github.com/briney/abutils
cd abutils/
python setup.py install
