Change Log

🚀 Getting started

rdk-rs looks for dynamically linked (.so) files in the $CONDA_PREFIX/lib/ directory within the conda installation of RDKit. To get up and running, simply run the following commands:

1. 🐍 Install the latest conda distribution for your OS (we recommend mini/mambaforge)
2. 📦 Create a conda environment that includes a stable version of RDKit by running the commands below and activate it. Feel free to change the environment name rdkit-env to whatever you want / use a different (supported) Python version.

mamba create -c conda-forge python=3.10 -n rdkit-env
conda activate rdkit-env
conda install -c conda-forge rdkit 

1. 🔗 Dynamically link the RDKit binaries we just downloaded, for example on Linux you would run the following:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CONDA_PREFIX/lib

and on macOS:

export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=$CONDA_PREFIX/lib

NOTE: The conda environment containing the RDKit installation must be active for $CONDA_PREFIX to contain the right path.
