How to Install Sist2 on Windows 11

Sist2 is a multithreaded statistical toolkit designed for analyzing low-throughput biological data sets. In this tutorial, we'll discuss how to install and set up the Sist2 package on Windows 11.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, you'll need to make sure you have the following installed on your Windows 11 machine:

Step 1: Install Sist2

First, navigate to the sist2 repository on GitHub by going to https://github.com/simon987/sist2. From there, click on the "Clone or download" button and copy the URL.

Next, open up a new command prompt or terminal window on your Windows 11 machine and navigate to the directory you want to install Sist2 in. Once you're in the desired directory, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/simon987/sist2.git

This will download the Sist2 repository to your local machine.

Step 2: Install Required Libraries

Now that you have Sist2 downloaded, you need to make sure you have all the required libraries installed. To do this, navigate to the sist2 directory you just cloned and run the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

This will install all necessary libraries for Sist2 to run.

Step 3: Set Up Sist2

Now that everything is installed, you need to set up Sist2 for use. From within the sist2 directory, run the following command to build the necessary C extensions:

python setup.py build_ext --inplace

This will create some necessary files in the sist2 directory.

Step 4: Verify Installation

To make sure everything is working correctly, you can run the following command to test the Sist2 installation:

python test.py

If everything is working correctly, you should see a message indicating that all tests passed.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Sist2 on Windows 11. You can now analyze low-throughput biological data sets using this powerful statistical toolkit.
