How to Install PROTzilla on Windows

Requirements

  • PowerShell or CMD with access to Git
  • Python version 3.11 and above
  • Desktop development with C++ (Download from Visual Studio C++ Build Tools)
    • Visual Studio C++ 14.0 and above
  • Anaconda

    Note: If Anaconda is not installed, the installation script for PROTzilla will automatically install Miniconda 3.

Installation Steps

  1. Download and Extract Repository:

  1. Run Installation Script:

    • Locate and execute run_protzilla.bat.

  2. Wait for Installation Completion:

    • Allow the script to finish installing all the required files and dependencies.

  3. Access PROTzilla:

    • Once the installation is complete, you can start PROTzilla by opening http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your web browser.

Alternative: Installation via Windows PowerShell

  1. Clone the Repository:

    • Open Windows PowerShell and clone the git repository locally. 
      git clone https://github.com/cschlaffner/PROTzilla2.git
