## Quickstart
### Docker
If you have Docker installed, you can run a PLIP analysis for the structure `1vsn` with the following shell command:
On Linux / MacOS:
```bash
$ docker run --rm \
-v ${PWD}:/results \
-w /results \
-u $(id -u ${USER}):$(id -g ${USER}) \
pharmai/plip:latest -i 1vsn -yv
```
On Windows:
```bash
$ docker run --rm \
-v ${PWD}:/results \
-w /results \
-u $(id -u ${USER}):$(id -g ${USER}) \
pharmai/plip:latest -i 1vsn -yv
```
### Singularity
The equivalent command for our pre-built [Singularity](https://singularity.lbl.gov/) image for Linux (available under [Releases](https://github.com/pharmai/plip/releases)) is as follows:
```bash
$ ./plip.simg -i 1vsn -yv
```
Singularity allows to use PLIP with ease in HPC environments. Note that you need to have Singularity installed on your base system.
### Google Colab
PLIP is available as a [Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1KV0Yx6vMFXvtyIRtmkPoMLN0Q6GKG1pm?usp=sharing) to be used without the need to install it locally. It can be used without constraints in terms of
PDB file and protein sizes.

## Usage
This README provides instructions for setup and using basic functions of PLIP.
For more details, see the [Documentation](DOCUMENTATION.md).
### 1. Install PLIP
#### Containerized Image (recommended)
:exclamation: We ship PLIP as pre-built containers for multiple architectures (amd64/ARM), available on the [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/pharmai/plip) or as pre-built Singularity image under [Releases](https://github.com/pharmai/plip/releases). See the quickstart section above for usage instructions.
#### Dependencies
If you cannot use the containerized bundle or want to use PLIP sources, make sure you have the following requirements installed:
- Python >= 3.6.9
- [OpenBabel](#Installing-OpenBabel) >= 3.0.0 with [Python bindings](https://open-babel.readthedocs.io/en/latest/UseTheLibrary/PythonInstall.html)
- PyMOL >=Excerpt of 12,309 characters
