Thank you for your interest in CASPER. Please visit the Release page to download the CASPERapp executable for your OS; otherwise, you can download the source code, and run the CASPERapp using Python3.
-
Clone the repository
-
Ensure that you have Python3 installed on your computer (Python 3.6 recommended).
-
We have coded in a requirements file such that dependencies CASPER operates on should be automatically downloaded to your computer. If this does not work and you have a dependency issue, please use pip or anaconda to install the appropriate packages given in the warnings.
-

Place the SeqFinder executable in the CASPERapp directory (does not need to go into a specific folder).
