Installation¶

Prerequisites¶

McCoy wraps Snakemake and installs all required third-party tools (e.g. Beast2, IQ-TREE, …) into isolated environments using Conda. For this reason, we also require either the Conda or Mamba package managers to be installed on your system (with a strong preference for the latter).

If you don’t have either, Mamba can be easily installed via the Mambaforge distribution. If you already have Conda installed on your system, you can instead install Mamba using:

conda install -n base -c conda-forge mamba

Installing McCoy¶

McCoy is available via pypi and can be installed using pip:

pip install mccoy
