Installation

Guide

Chanjo targets Unix and Python 2.7+/3.2+. It relies on Sambamba for BAM processing, making it very simple to install. Miniconda is still recommended, it’s a slim distribution of Python with a very nice package manager.

With Miniconda and conda set up you can do:

$ source activate [myEnvironment]
$ conda install -c bioconda sambamba
$ pip install chanjo

Optional dependencies

If you plan on using MySQL for your SQL database you also need another SQL-adapter. My recommendation is pymysql. It’s written in pure Python and works on both version 2.x and 3.x.

$ pip install pymysql

Getting the code

Would you like to take part in the development or tweak the code for any other reason? In that case, you should follow these simple steps and download the code from the GitHub repo.

$ git clone https://github.com/Clinical-Genomics/chanjo.git
$ cd chanjo
$ pip install --editable .
