mummichog 2.0.6

Installation

Mummichog can be installed using pip (pip Installs Packages), the Python package manager:

pip install mummichog

This is OS independent. To read more on pip here <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/#installing-with-get-pip-py>.

One can also run mummichog without installing it. Direct python call on a downloaded copy will work. Note: a common error may come up in earlier versions as

AttributeError: 'NoveView' object has no attribute 'sort'

This is caused by an incompatible update in networkx-2.0 library. It can be fixed by specifying

sudo pip install networkx==1.10
