Installation

OneModel can be installed from the Python Package Index (PyPI) repository as a package for python3.7.

For the impatients:

$ pip install onemodel      # install OneModel
$ pip install onemodel -u   # update to the newest version
$ onemodel run              # Run a onemodel file
$ onemodel export           # Export a onemodel file into SBML
$ onemodel install          # Install the dependencies of a OneModel project

OneModel can be installed in Windows, Mac, or Linux; the only requirement is to have installed python 3.7.

Therefore, the first step is to install python3.7 in your system. The installation process of Python varies depending on the operating system you are using: there are great tutorials regarding each operating system on the internet.

Once you have installed Python, you have to verify that the correct version of python and pip are installed. For this, write in the command prompt of your system: python --version and pip --version the output of these two commands should indicate that the version of Python is 3.7 in both cases. If another version of Python appears, it means that you have multiple versions of Python installed in your system, then you should use pip3.7 instead of pip for installing OneModel.

Now you can install OneModel by writing pip install onemodel in the command prompt (or pip3.7 install onemodel). This command will install OneModel and all its dependencies in your system. The examples of this documentation were done for OneModel v0.0.10, they should still work in future versions, but we recommend using this specific version to follow the examples (you can install this version with pip install onemodel==0.0.10), and to check the GitHub repository for more information.

The graphical user interface is opened by writing onemodel-gui in the command prompt and the command-line interface is accessed with onemodel-cli.

Lastly, if you want to update OneModel to the newest version, you can use the following command: pip install onemodel -u.
