1. Installation
Note: tutorial document in the repository has additional screen captures you may find helpful.
Update: 2017-07-23 Please note redesign of the wxPython website; wxPython 3.0.2.0 should now be downloaded directly from sourceforge.
1- Install Python 2.7 64-bit from https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.13/python-2.7.13.amd64.msi
2- Install .NET from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17718
3- Download wxPython3.0.2.0, 64-bit, for Python 2.7 from sourceforge and install: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxpython/files/wxPython/3.0.2.0/wxPython3.0-win64-3.0.2.0-py27.exe/download
4- Install multiplierz via pip: from command line, run "c:\python27\scripts\pip install multiplierz -- upgrade".
5- Download mzStudio (zip) from https://github.com/BlaisProteomics/mzStudio, extract zipped files and run! The first time you run the program, it will ask if you’d like to configure the interfaces to vendor raw data files. Click Yes. Then type ‘Y’ in the console when prompted to install MSFileReader. After this, mzStudio will launch!

1- Install Python 2.7 64-bit from https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.13/python-2.7.13.amd64.msi
2- Install .NET from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17718
Hit the download button, run the installer, and follow the directions.
On this computer, .NET was already installed.
3- Install wxPython 3 from https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxpython/files/wxPython/3.0.2.0/wxPython3.0-win64-3.0.2.0-py27.exe/download
Download and install.
The installer will compile the modules.
4- Install multiplierz via pip: from command line, run "c:\python27\scripts\pip install multiplierz --upgrade". The --upgrade flag will update modules if newer versions are available in case older versions are present. Note, your python27 installation may be in a different directory (this was chosen during install process), so adjust the path accordingly!
Pip is a handy installer for python modules; open a command prompt and type the command above. Multiplierz and all dependent modules will be downloaded, extracted and installed!
On windows 10, to open a command prompt, type “cmd” in the search bar.
On windows 7, press the start button, and type “cmd” in the search bar.
5- Download mzStudio from https://github.com/BlaisProteomics/mzStudio, extract and run! Click Clone or download, and Download ZIP.
Extract the zip files.
Open a command prompt (as described above), and run mzStudio!
When you launch the program, it checks to see if the interfaces to the mass spectrometry data files have been configured. If not, (for example, the first time you launch the program), you will see the message:
Click Yes to setup the interfaces. After enabling .wiff (ABSciex), .t2d (ABSciex), and .d (Agilent) file access, it will ask if you want to install the MSFilereader (.raw access). Type Y, and enter.
Follow directions to install MSFilereader. There are several modules to install, 32- and 64- bit, make sure you follow to completion!
Once vendor library access is configured, mzStudio will open!
To make it easier to launch the program, I find it handy to make a .bat file and place it on the desktop.
Just open up notepad, type the path to your python executable (i.e. C:\Python27\Python.exe), and then the path to mzStudio.py (adjust your path accordingly depending on where you extracted your files). Click File/Save as… Browse to the desktop, then select “All files” in the “Save as type“ box and enter mzStudio.bat as filename. Double clicking the .bat file will directly open mzStudio!
