🏃🏼‍♂️ Quick start

polars-bio is available on PyPI and can be installed with pip: 

pip install polars-bio
There are binary versions for Linux (x86_64), MacOS (x86_64 and arm64) and Windows (x86_64). In case of other platforms (or errors indicating incompatibilites between Python's ABI), it is fairly easy to build polars-bio from source with maturin: 
RUSTFLAGS="-Ctarget-cpu=native" maturin build --release -m Cargo.toml
and you should see the following output: 
Compiling polars_bio v0.5.2 (/Users/mwiewior/research/git/polars-bio)
Finished `release` profile [optimized] target(s) in 1m 25s
📦 Built wheel for abi3 Python ≥ 3.8 to /Users/mwiewior/research/git/polars-bio/target/wheels/polars_bio-0.5.2-cp38-abi3-macosx_11_0_arm64.whl
and finally install the package with pip: 
pip install /Users/mwiewior/research/git/polars-bio/target/wheels/polars_bio-0.2.11-cp38-abi3-macosx_11_0_arm64.whl

Tip

Required dependencies:

  • Python>=3.9
  • cmake,
  • Rust compiler
  • Cargo are required to build the package from source. rustup is the recommended way to install Rust.
