Container

docker pull picotainers/risk:latest

Usage

Open a Python session inside the container:

docker run --rm -it picotainers/risk:latest python

Minimal import and annotation example:

docker run --rm picotainers/risk:latest python - <<'PY'
import networkx as nx
from risk import RISK

r = RISK(verbose=False)
g = nx.Graph()
g.add_edge("n1", "n2")
for node in g.nodes:
    g.nodes[node]["x"] = 0.0
    g.nodes[node]["y"] = 0.0
    g.nodes[node]["label"] = node

net = r.load_network_networkx(g)
ann = r.load_annotation_dict(net, {"termA": ["n1"], "termB": ["n1", "n2"]})
print(sorted(ann.keys()))
PY

Notes

• Upstream release pinned: v0.1.3
• The image is intentionally Python-first because upstream exposes RISK as a package API rather than a standalone CLI.

Quick Usage

# Pull the image
docker pull docker.io/picotainers/risk:latest

# Run the tool
docker run --rm docker.io/picotainers/risk:latest risk --help
