Installation (git)

Installation via git is the best way to keep your copy of cmonkey-python up-to-date. However, there are additional dependencies that you will need to install separately. On Ubuntu, these can all be installed using

sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-scipy python-rpy2 python-beautifulsoup python-mysqldb

If you will be running the cmonkey viewer/monitor, you will need two extra packages:

sudo apt-get install python-cherrypy3 python-routes

Installation (Debian package)

To simplify system setup for Debian and Ubuntu users, cmonkey-python is also made available as a Debian package.

You can install this together with its dependencies using

sudo dpkg -i cmonkey-python*.deb

Depending on your configuration, this might result in dpkg reporting dependency issues. In this case, execute

sudo apt-get -f install

to instruct your Debian/Ubuntu system to install the required dependencies.

Note that in order to use MEME, you will need to have MEME installed and available in your $PATH. MEME is available here.

Usage

Using the Debian package will make the cmonkey-python command available. It is recommended that you create a project directory for your run containing your gene expression file and run it from there. cmonkey-python creates a cache and out directory in that directory by default.

cmonkey-python --organism <your organism> --ratios <your_ratios.tsv>

Uninstall cmonkey-python from your system

dpkg -r cmonkey-python
