Web Server

We have a web server for the selector library at https://huggingface.co/spaces/QCDevs/Selector. For small and prototype datasets, you can use the web server to select a diverse subset of your dataset and compute the diversity metrics, where you can download the selected subset and the computed diversity metrics.

Installation

It is recommended to install selector within a virtual environment. To create a virtual environment, we can use the venv module (Python 3.9+, https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html), miniconda (https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html), or pipenv (https://pipenv.pypa.io/en/latest/).

Installing from PyPI

To install selector with pip, we can install the latest stable release from the Python Package Index (PyPI) as follows:

# install the stable release
pip install qc-selector

Installing from The Prebuild Wheel Files

To download the prebuilt wheel files, visit the PyPI page and GitHub releases.

# download the wheel file first to your local machine
# then install the wheel file
pip install file_path/qc_selector-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl

Installing from the Source Code

In addition, we can install the latest development version from the GitHub repository as follows:

# install the latest development version
pip install git+https://github.com/theochem/Selector.git

We can also clone the repository to access the latest development version, test it and install it as follows:

# clone the repository
git clone git@github.com:theochem/Selector.git

# change into the working directory
cd Selector
# run the tests
python -m pytest .

# install the package
pip install .
