Install instructions for Mac OSX
I do not have an Apple machine, so I have not been able to test DecoyFinder or to prepare a package for OSX
However, if its dependencies are correctly installed, it should just work fine.
There are 2 options: using official binary releases or using Macports. Either way you will need to have Apple's Xcode developer tools installed.
- OpenBabel 2.3.1 (or higher) ** with python bindings** (this means you will need to compile it with the appropiate options )
- Qt 4.6+ (you can download binaries from here)
- PySide (for python 2.7 or python 2.6).
Make sure you install both PySide and OpenBabel python bindings for the same python installation
- Download and install Macports, if not already done
- Install, via MacPorts, the packages 'py-pyside' and 'py-openbabel'
Once you have everything installed, download DecoyFinder from here, extract the contents of the archive to wherever you want, and execute the file 'decoy_finder.py' with the python installation in which you installed PySide and OpenBabel Python bindings (hint: if you used Macports, it will be MacPorts' python, otherwise it will be OSX's system python).
#Feedback Please, if you try to run DecoyFinder on a Mac, let me know wether this worked or not for you. Feel free to contact me for any questions.
