NOTE: FAS works only with Python3

Check FAQ for setting python3 as default in Ubuntu.

Install with Anaconda

You may have to add bioconda to your channels beforehand as FAS requires the some packages from this channel:

conda config --add channels bioconda

Then, from an activated conda environment, install FAS with

conda install -c BIONF fas

After installing, please run prepareFAS to configure FAS before using.

Install without Anaconda

You can install FAS with pip:

python3 -m pip install greedyFAS

(*) In case you do not have admin rights, and don't use package systems like Anaconda to manage environments you need to use the --user option:

python3 -m pip install --user greedyFAS

and then add the following line to the end of your .bashrc or .bash_profile file, restart the current terminal to apply the change:

export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH

After installing, please run prepareFAS to configure FAS before using.
