Installation
============

tacl is available on `PyPI`_ and so can be installed (along with its
Python dependencies) using `pip`_. If problems occur, see
https://github.com/ajenhl/tacl/wiki/Installation for alternative
instructions.

Requirements
------------

* `Python 3`_ (minimum version 3.5)
* `lxml`_
* `pandas`_
* `SQLite3`_
* `biopython`_
* `Jinja2`_
* `colorlog`_

On Windows, Python is packaged with the SQLite3 DLL, so the latter
need not be installed separately.

``lxml`` is used in generating suitable text files from XML source
documents (such as those provided by CBETA).

``pandas`` is used to manipulate results.

``biopython`` is used in creating side by side display of aligned text
matches.
