pVACtools
=========

pVACtools is a cancer immunotherapy suite consisting of the following
tools:

**pVACseq**

A cancer immunotherapy pipeline for identifying and prioritizing
neoantigens from a VCF file.

**pVACbind**

A cancer immunotherapy pipeline for identifying and prioritizing
neoantigens from a FASTA file.

**pVACfuse**

A tool for detecting neoantigens resulting from gene fusions.

**pVACvector**

A tool designed to aid specifically in the construction of DNA
vector-based cancer vaccines.

**pVACview**

An application based on R Shiny that assists users in reviewing,
exploring and prioritizing neoantigens from the results of pVACtools
processes for personalized cancer vaccine design.

Installation
------------

pVACtools is written for Linux but some users have been able to run it
successfully on Mac OS X. If you are using Windows you will need to set
up a Linux environment, for example by setting up a virtual machine.

pVACtools requires Python 3.6 or above. Before running any installation
steps, check the Python version installed on your system:

``python -V``

If you don’t have Python 3 installed, we recommend using
`Conda <https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/index.html>`__
to emulate a Python 3 environment. We’ve encountered problems with users
that already have Python 2.x installed when they also try to install
Python 3. The defaults will not be set correctly in that case. If you
already have Python 2.x installed we **strongly** recommmend using Conda
instead of installing Python 3 locally.

Once you have set up your Python 3 environment correctly you can use
``pip`` to install pVACtools. Make sure you have ``pip`` installed.
``pip`` is generally included in python distributions, but may need to
be upgraded before use. See the
`instructions <https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/installing/#install-pip-setuptools-and-wheel>`__
for installing or upgrading ``pip``.

After you have ``pip`` installed, type the following command on your
Terminal:

``pip install pvactools``

You can check that ``pvactools`` has been installed under the default
environment like so:

``pip show pvactools``

``pip`` will fetch and install pVACtools and its dependencies for you.
After installing, each tool of the pVACtools suite is available in its
own command line tree directly from the Terminal.

If you have an old version of pVACtools installed you might want to
consider upgrading to the latest version:

``pip install pvactools --upgrade``

Documentation
-------------

The pVACtools documentation can be found on ReadTheDocs.
