QIIME Readme
============
The definitive source for information on QIIME is the QIIME website at `http://www.qiime.org <http://www.qiime.org>`_. The information contained in this document is very minimal in comparison.
:Download: via sourceforge at `http://sourceforge.net/projects/qiime <http://sourceforge.net/projects/qiime>`_.
:Registration: To be informed of bugs, new releases, and new features subscribe to the QIIME blog at `http://qiime.wordpress.com <http://qiime.wordpress.com>`_.
Dependencies
------------
QIIME requires Python_ 2.7, Numpy_ 1.5.1, and PyCogent_ 1.5.1.
Required
^^^^^^^^
- Python_: the language the toolkit is primarily written in, and in which the user writes control scripts.
- Numpy_: This is a python module used for speeding up matrix computations. It is available as source code for \*nix.
- PyCogent_: the Python Comparative Genomics Toolkit, a library containing core objects commonly used in Bioinformatics applications, wrappers for external applications (e.g., blast), and a lot more.
Note: On some linux platforms (like Ubuntu), you must specifically install a ``python-dev`` package so that the Python_ header files required for building some external dependencies are available.
Documentation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Installation instructions, a tutorial, and documentation
--------------------------------------------------------
Installation notes, a tutorial, and documentation is provided at `http://www.qiime.org <http://www.qiime.org>`_.
Testing
-------
``QIIME/tests`` contains all the tests. You can most readily run the tests using the ``QIIME/tests/all_tests.py`` shell script. This is done by typing:
::
$ python Qiime/tests/all_tests.py
Note that if certain optional applications are not installed this will be indicated in the output as test fails beginning with ``ApplicationNotFoundError``.
Tips for use
^^^^^^^^^^^^
All QIIME scripts provide usage information when called with their -h option. This should be the first place to look for information about how to interact with QIIME's scripts. For example, to learn about how QIIME's pick_otus.py script works, call:
::
$ pick_otus.py -h
