Installation

Prerequisites

Intervene requires the following Python modules and R packages:

Install BEDTools

Intervene is using pybedtools, which is Python wrapper for BEDTools. So, BEDTools should be installed before using Intervene It’s recomended to have a latest version, but if you have an older version already install, it should be fine. Please read the instructions at https://github.com/arq5x/bedtools2 to install BEDTools, and make sure it is on your path and you are able to call bedtools from any directory.

Install required Python modules

Intervene takes care of the installation of all the required Python modules. If you already have a working installation of Python, the easiest way to install required Python modules is by installing Intervene using pip. If you’re setting up Python for the first time, we recommend to install it using Anaconda Python distribution http://continuum.io/downloads. These come with several helpful scientific and data processing libraries. These are available for platforms including Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.

If you want to install requires Python modules individually, you can use the following commands, else you can install Intervene directly.

Install pybedtools

Install it from PyPi

pip install pybedtools

or using conda

conda install -c bioconda pybedtools
