Prerequisites

This section will explain the dependency requirements for building OctaDist. As OctaDist is written in Python 3, you have to make sure that the version of Python on your system is equal or higher than 3.5. Check it by following command:

python --version

or

python3 --version

Tip

If you do have Python on the system, I would suggest you to read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Python. It is very useful!

Install Python 3 on:

• Windows

• Linux

• macOS

The following third-party packages are used in OctaDist.

numpy
scipy
matplotlib
rmsd
pymatgen

Actually, if you use pip to install OctaDist, the required dependencies will be installed automatically. However, you can install these packages yourself. This can be done with only one step:

pip install -r requirements.txt
