Installing MhcVizPipe in an existing Python environment

Before proceeding, be sure you have installed Python 3.7 or higher and all the required third-party software. If you have not done this, see the respective wiki pages:

These instructions show you how to install MhcVizPipe in your base Python environment. If you are familiar with virtual environments, we recommend you use one to avoid conflicts with other packages you might have installed.

Installing MhcVizPipe

  1. Open a terminal
    • In Linux use the keyboard shortcut ctrl-alt-t to do so.
    • On a Mac search for "terminal" in the Spotlight search and open it.
  2. Type or copy-paste the following into the terminal and hit enter:
    pip3 install MhcVizPipe
    

It might chug for a bit. When it is done, you should have a working installation of MhcVizPipe.

  • NOTE: if you encounter an error about permission like:
    ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
    
    Try using one of the following commands:
    pip3 install --user MhcVizPipe
    
    OR
    sudo pip3 install MhcVizPipe
    
    The first option installs MhcVizPipe only for your user. In the second, you give pip elevated privileges to carry out the installation. This can only be done if you have sudo privileges.

Now you are ready to run MVP for the first time.
