PyPop is a framework for processing genotype and allele data and running population genetic analyses.

1. install developer command-line tools: https://developer.apple.com/downloads/ (includes git, gcc)
2. Visit http://macports.org and follow the instructions there to install the latest version of MacPorts for your version of MacOS X.
3. Set environment variables to use macports version of Python and other packages, packages add the following to ~/.bash_profile

export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH
export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib/:$LIBRARY_PATH
export CPATH=/opt/local/include:$CPATH

4. Rerun your bash shell login in order to make these new exports active in your environment. At the command line type:

exec bash -login

git clone https://github.com/alexlancaster/pypop.git

Install the MacPorts packages

  sudo port install swig-python gsl py27-numpy py-libxml2 py27-libxslt py-setuptools py27-pip

Set MacPorts to use the just-installed 2.7 MacPorts version of Python and pip:

  sudo port select --set python python27
  sudo port select --set pip pip27

Check that the MacPorts version of Python is active by typing: which python, if it is working correctly you should see the following:

/opt/local/bin/python

Need at least Fedora 25 for the appropriate dependencies:

  sudo dnf install swig gsl-devel python2-numpy python-libxml2 libxslt-python python-setuptools python-pip

See DEV_NOTES.md for instructions on containerizing the install on a Centos/RHEL release.

Install the following packages

  sudo apt install git libgsl-dev python-numpy python-libxml2 python-libxslt1 python-setuptools python-pip

The swig package in recent Ubuntu releases has bugs, you will need to compile the most recent from source, see also DEV_NOTES.md for details.

./setup.py build

These are examples of how to use PyPop. Specify the --help option to see an explanation of the options available.

./bin/pypop.py -c  tests/data/minimal.ini tests/data/USAFEL-UchiTelle-small.pop

This will generate the following two files, an XML output file and a plain text version:

USAFEL-UchiTelle-small-out.xml
USAFEL-UchiTelle-small-out.txt

  ./setup.py test

If you run into errors, file a bug (as per Support, below), include the output of py.test run in verbose mode and capturing the output

  py.test -s -v

(See DEV_NOTES.md for more details on installing or running py.test outside the context of setuptools.)

Please submit bug reports and feature requests

https://github.com/alexlancaster/pypop/issues

When reporting bugs, especially during installation, please run the following and include the output:

echo $CPATH
echo $LIBRARY_PATH
echo $PATH
which python

If you are running on MacOS please also run and include the output of:

port installed
