Installing
PhamDB is distributed as a Docker image which runs on Linux. It was originally designed to run on a server shared between several researchers, but it's easy to set it up on your own laptop or desktop. Windows and OSX are supported through Kitematic, a tool for managing docker containers on Windows and Mac.
8. PhamDB is now running. Click on the box with the arrow next to "WEB PREVIEW" to open the PhamDB web interface in your browser. This is a website on your local network.
The local PhamDB website is only available when Kitematic is running. If you restart your machine, you will need to start PhamDB in order to get back to your work. To do this, open Kitematic and start the PhamDb container. Then click the arrow next to "WEB PREVIEW" to launch the PhamDB web interface.
