How do I install glue genes?

Python Installation

Installing glue genes as a Python package allows you to modify glue genes, install additional glue plugins, and take full advantage of the many ways you can customize glue/glue genes to suit you needs.

We recommend installing glue genes into a dedicated virtual environment using pip:

python -m venv glue-genes-env
source glue-genes-env/bin/activate

pip install glue-genes[qt6]

If you encounter difficulties, then please consult the core glue documentation for alternative methods for installing glue, and afterwards simply:

pip install glue-genes[qt6]
