Installation

Stable release

To install pysradb, run this command in your terminal:

$ pip install pysradb

This is the preferred method to install pysradb, as it will always install the most recent stable release.

If you don’t have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.

Alternatively, you may use conda:

conda install -c bioconda pysradb

This step will install all the dependencies except aspera-client (which is not required, but highly recommended). If you have an existing environment with a lot of pre-installed packages, conda might be slow. Please consider creating a new enviroment for pysradb:

conda create -c bioconda -n pysradb PYTHON=3 pysradb
