The latest documentation of this package can be found in our readthedocs site: latest API documentation.

Version

v5.3.1 2026.1

Installation

Using PIP:

Important: PIP only installs the package. All the dependencies must be installed separately. To perform a complete installation, please use ANACONDA, DOCKER or SINGULARITY.

• Installation:

    pip install "biobb_gromacs>=5.3.1"
  

• Usage: Python API documentation

Using ANACONDA:

• Installation:

    conda install -c bioconda "biobb_gromacs>=5.3.1"
  

• Usage: With conda installation BioBBs can be used with the Python API documentation and the Command Line documentation

Using DOCKER:

• Installation:

    docker pull quay.io/biocontainers/biobb_gromacs:5.3.1--pyhdfd78af_0
  

• Usage:

    docker run quay.io/biocontainers/biobb_gromacs:5.3.1--pyhdfd78af_0 <command>
  

Using SINGULARITY:

MacOS users: it's strongly recommended to avoid Singularity and use Docker as containerization system.

• Installation:

    singularity pull --name biobb_gromacs.sif https://depot.galaxyproject.org/singularity/biobb_gromacs:5.3.1--pyhdfd78af_0
  

• Usage:

    singularity exec biobb_gromacs.sif <command>
  

The command list and specification can be found at the Command Line documentation.
