Installation

mzml2isa is available on PyPI, so if pip is installed on your machine, installing mzml2isa should be quite straightforward, without the need to worry about dependencies. It is also possible to install mzml2isa development version directly from the mzml2isa GitHub repository.

Windows

Windows users can either install mzml2isa as described below or use a ‘ready to go’ Windows executable (no python install required). The executables be found on the mzml2isa Github release section. See file mzml2isa_cli.exe.

Dependencies

Warning

Without pip you’ll have to install the requirements yourself, otherwise running setup.py will fail when trying to import mzml2isa for the first time.

Requirements

pronto
an interface to ontology files (used to import the MS controled vocabulary)

Extras

lxml

an XML parser generally quicker than the builtin python xml.cElementTree (used as an alternative to parse the mzML files)

Note

If installing lxml on windows, you can either:

  1. Compile it directly (requires Microsoft Visual C++ to be installed on the Windows machine): run the command set STATICBUILD=true && pip install lxml
  2. Install the unofficial windows binaries (whls)
