DOCK 3.8:How to install pydock3

pydock3 is a Python package wrapping the DOCK Fortran program that provides tools to help standardize and automate the computational methods employed in molecular docking.

Note: if you are at UCSF on gimel or wynton, you do not need to install, the software is already locally maintained.

Instructions

1. git clone the following repo: https://github.com/docking-org/pydock3 into a folder of your choice. Navigate to the folder first before cloning.

```git clone https://github.com/docking-org/pydock3```

2. Now that you have a new folder called pydock3, create a new conda environment to install packages into. Make sure it has python version>=3.8. Replace 'your_env_name' with your chosen environment name.

```conda create -n your_env_name python=3.8```

3. Activate the conda environment and install pydock3 onto it with pip. Do not cd into the pydock3 folder itself before running pip. ```conda activate your_env_name pip install -e pydock3```

Note: requires Python>=3.8
