Instruction

Since PaddleHelix depends on the paddlepaddle of version 2.0.0rc0 or above, and rdkit cannot be installed directly using pip, we suggest using conda to create a new environment for the installation. Detailed instruction is shown below:

1. If you do not have conda installed, please check this website to get it first:

https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/

2. Create a new environment with conda:

conda create -n paddlehelix python=3.7  

3. Activate the environment which is just created:

conda activate paddlehelix

4. Install rdkit using conda:

conda install -c conda-forge rdkit

5. Install the right version of paddlepaddle according to the device (CPU/GPU) you want to run PaddleHelix on.

   If you want to use the GPU version of paddlepaddle, run this:

   python -m pip install paddlepaddle-gpu -f https://paddlepaddle.org.cn/whl/stable.html

   Or if you want to use the CPU version of paddlepaddle, run this:

   python -m pip install paddlepaddle -i https://mirror.baidu.com/pypi/simple

   Noting that the version of paddlepaddle should be higher than 2.0. Check paddlepaddle's official document for more installation guide.

6. Install PGL using pip:

pip install pgl

7. Install PaddleHelix using pip:

pip install paddlehelix

8. The installation is done!

Note

After playing, if you want to deactivate the conda environment, do this:

conda deactivate
