Installation

Updateable install

To install flins in an updatable and editable form, run these commands in your terminal:

$ git clone git://github.com/AllenCellModeling/flins
$ cd flins
$ pip install -e .[all]

This is the preferred method to install flins in its current alpha form as it will allow updates via:

$ git pull

Direct pip install

It is also possible to install flins directly from the Github repo via:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/AllenCellModeling/flins.git

Visualization support

Display of SVG visualizations within notebooks is supported by Ipython’s core display functions, but to render these to PNGs and then to animations we rely on librsvg and ffmpeg. Installation with Anaconda is accomplished via:

$ conda install -c conda-forge librsvg ffmpeg
