Handling integrated biological data using InterMine - Technical Setup

Option 1 - install your own python 🐍

For these instructions to work, you’ll need a linux or mac machine. If you’re running windows, we’d suggest you use Option 2 - Jupyter notebooks.

Python

Compatability note: InterMine currently automatically generates Python 2.7 compliant code (3 is in the works!). For this reason we recommend python 2.7, although the client does support python 3.

• Python 2.7 (we’d recommend Anaconda for Python 2.7)
• The InterMine python library
• Optional: Jupyter Notebook - this isn’t necessary if you installed Anaconda at the first step.

Option 2 - Fallback - Jupyter Notebooks + Binder

You can launch the python tutorials in a Jupyter notebook via binder. Just click on the button below!
