Set Up

Before Downloading

We recommend working with interact-ms through conda. On windows systems you may also need

Setting up your environment:

For basic interact-ms use.

  1. To start with create a new conda environment with python version 3.11:
conda create --name interact_ms python=3.11 -c conda-forge
  1. Activate this environment
conda activate interact_ms
  1. You will then need to install the interact-ms package (this also installs inSPIRE and PEPSeek):
pip install interact_ms==0.1
  1. To check your installation, run the following command (it is normal for this call to hang for a few seconds on first execution)
interact-ms -h
  1. 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
  1. Once you have successfully installed interact-ms you should run it specifying your pipeline and the mode of execution. Starting the web-server will then be achieved by:
interact-ms --config_file path-to-config-file

where the config file is a yaml file specifying configuration of your interact-ms server.

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 automatically downloaded.)

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 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 you will need to download docker and insure can be executed. See instructions from docker documentation. (Skyline itself is open source).

Writing the Config File.

The following configurations should be set for interact-ms:

Key Description
maxCpus The number of CPUs from your computer that you wish to dedicate to a single pipeline execution.
fraggerPath The file path to the .jar file of MSFragger (e.g. for version 3.7 the end of this path should be: MSFragger-3.7/MSFragger-3.7.jar)
fraggerMemory The ammount of memory (GB) that is available for MSFragger execution.
netMHCpan The command that can be used to run NetMHCpan (e.g. on Linux we use tcsh to execute NetMHCpan and so our config key is tcsh /data/interact-ms/netMHCpan-4.1/netMHCpan).

Example of Windows Config

fraggerPath: C:/Users/username/Downloads/MSFragger-3.7/MSFragger-3.7.jar
netMHCpan: C:/Users/username/Downloads/netMHCpan-4.1
fraggerMemory: 60
maxCpus: 20
skylineRunner: C:/Program Files/Skyline/SkylineRunner.exe
rescoreCommand: C:/Program Files/percolator-v3-05/bin/percolator.exe

Example of Linux/MacOS Config
