Wikidpad (WP) is a personal wiki written in Python. See the original repository for more information here.
There are two important differences between this version and the original (see at the end of this page).
-
The original wikidpad is usually installed via a binary installer. This version is installed as a conda or pip package.
pip install WikidPadMP
-
A series of plugins are distributed along with wikidpad. These are located in the WikidPad/user_extensions directory and can be removed.
We call these plugins "mecplugins" and they help us with biology and molecular biology work.
-
Create a new conda environment with python 3.8
conda create python=3.8 -n wp38
-
Activate this environment
conda activate wp38
-
Install wikidpad by
conda install -c bjornfjohansson wikidpadmp
-
