inSPIRE-interactive

Easy GUI/webserver access for the inSPIRE platform.

Set Up

Before Downloading

We recommend working with inSPIRE through conda. On windows systems you may also need

Setting up your environment:

For basic inSPIRE-Interactive use.

1. To start with create a new conda environment with python version 3.11:

conda create --name inspire python=3.11

2. Activate this environment

conda activate inspire

3. You will then need to install the inSPIRE-interactive package (this also installs inSPIRE):

pip install inspire-interact==0.6

4. To check your installation, run the following command (it is normal for this call to hang for a few seconds on first execution)

inspire-interact -h

5. You will require Percolator for rescoring. On Linux, Percolator can be installed via conda with the command below. Otherwise see https://github.com/percolator/percolator.

conda install -c bioconda percolator

6. Once you have successfully installed inSPIRE-Interactive you should run it specifying your pipeline and the mode of execution. The core execution of inSPIRE will take the form:

inspire-interact --config_file path-to-config-file --mode local

where the config file is a yaml file specifying configuration of your inSPIRE-Interactive server and the mode is either "server" if you are setting up inSPIRE-Interactive for use throughout your lab, or "local" if you are only using inSPIRE-Interactive on your own machine.

7. On local mode you can then access the webserver home by pasting the following address on your browser:

http://127.0.0.1:5000/interact-page/home

Additional Features

In order to use raw files on Linux or Mac O.S. you will require the use of mono (mono project) which is required by the ThermoRawFileParser. (The ThermoRawFileParser itself is open source and downloaded by inSPIRE.)

In order to use NetMHCpan for binding affinity prediction you should download the software from the DTU site (you must agree to the license agreement). On linux and maxos systems we typically use tcsh. If you are a windows user you should download the Linux distribution and will need to install docker (see docker documentation.

In order to use MSFragger within inSPIRE-Interactive you should download from MSFragger (you must agree to the license agreements). You will also need java which can be installed using:

conda install -c conda-forge openjdk

In order to use Skyline within inSPIRE-Interactive you will need to download docker and insure can be run within inSPIRE. See instructions from docker documentation. (Skyline itself is open source).
