Quick Install Guide

Install Python

Get the latest version of Python at https://www.python.org/downloads/ or with your operating system’s package manager.

You can verify that Python is installed by typing python from your shell; you should see something like:

Python 3.9.5 (v3.9.5:0a7dcbdb13, May  3 2021, 13:17:02) 
[Clang 6.0 (clang-600.0.57)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Install LinkML

The latest version can always be installed with:

pip install linkml

Alternative protocol: Use Docker

You can also use the Docker image, courtesy of the Monarch Initiative:

docker run -v $(PWD):/work -w /work/ --rm -ti monarchinitiative/linkml

This comes with LinkML already installed
