Installation pathways. As with many Python applications, MagellanMapper can be installed through several pathways. The recommended pathway is through Conda, which handles all required dependencies and keeps them separate from any other installed Python packages in a virtual environment. For those who prefer a more “pure Python” approach, Venv will also keep packages separate in an environment while installing dependencies through Pip. Installation scripts are provided to simplify the Conda pathway. Various other pathways are also available. Typically, the latest dependencies are installed, but specifications that pin each dependency version are available for reproducibility.
