[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/hachmannlab/chemlg.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/hachmannlab/chemlg) [![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/hachmannlab/chemlg/branch/master/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/hachmannlab/chemlg) # ChemLG – A Library Generator for the Exploration and Enumeration of Chemical and Materials Spaces. ChemLG is a smart and massive parallel molecular library generator for chemical and materials sciences.
Program Version: 0.3
Release Date: July 4, 2019
With contributions by: Janhavi Abhay Dudwadkar (UB): Jupyter GUI
## Code Design: ChemLG is developed in the Python 3 programming language and uses OpenBabel and its Python extension, Pybel for handling molecules. The development follows a strictly modular and object-oriented design to make the overall code as flexible and versatile as possible. ChemLG can be run on a single core or in parallel on multiple cores. For the parallel execution, MPI4Py is also required along with OpenBabel as dependencies of ChemLG.
## Documentation: ChemLG documentation can be found here https://hachmannlab.github.io/chemlg
## Installation and Dependencies: It is highly recommended that a virtual environment is used to run ChemLG. The virtual environment and ChemLG and its dependencies can be installed as:
conda create –name my_chemlg_env python=3.6 source activate my_chemlg_env conda install -c openbabel openbabel conda install -c anaconda mpi4py pip install chemlg
You can test the installation with:
pytest -v
