Rhapsody

Python program, based on ProDy, for pathogenicity prediction of human missense variants.

Install latest published version using pip

Rhapsody is published on PyPI. To install Rhapsody, please use pip in the terminal:

$ pip install -U prody-rhapsody

It might be necessary to manually install the DSSP program, for instance by typing on Linux:

$ sudo apt get dssp

Install from source

Rhapsody is written in pure Python so no local compilation is needed.

To install all needed dependencies, we strongly suggest to use Conda and create a new environment with:

conda create -n rhapsody python=3 numpy scikit-learn requests pyparsing
conda activate rhapsody
pip install biopython prody

After cloning/forking the Rhapsody repository, you can permanently add the repository path to the conda environment with:

conda develop path/to/local/repository

If not using Conda, you can manually install all dependencies and then add the repository location to the PYTHONPATH environmental variable. For example, on Linux simply add the following line to your ~/.bashrc:

export PYTHONPATH="path/to/local/repository/:$PYTHONPATH"

If you are running on Windows, please follow this tutorial.
