Installation ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The preferred way to install pyranges is through the bioconda channel:: conda install -c bioconda pyranges You can also try pip:: pip install pyranges PyRanges has some dependencies that are optional. They need to be manually installed if you require their functionality: .. code-block:: none # pyfaidx: fetch sequences from fasta pip install pyfaidx # ray: multicpu pip install -U ray # pybigwig: write bigwigs pip install pybigwig # or conda install -c bioconda pybigwig # bamread: read bam files pip install bamread # or conda install -c bioconda bamread # fisher: fast fisher exact pip install fisher # or conda install -c bioconda fisher Since these are not required for most pyranges functionality, they are kept separate to prevent the possibility of the pyranges-install failing due to dependencies that fail installation or conflicting dependencies.
