Installing from binary packages

For some platforms, MDAnalysis can be installed directly in pre-compiled form. (If no pre-compiled packages are available, please see installing MDAnalysis from source.)

Anaconda

Note: This currently experimental, feedback welcome (at PR #751)

• Experimental, since 0.14.0 (see issue #608 with PR #751).
• Currently only Linux 64 bit supported.
• Currently only Python 2.

Install the current anaconda package according to the conda docs. Users can either install by one step:

conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/mdanalysis mdanalysis

Or two steps, first add the official MDAnalysis anaconda channel, (this has to be done once):

conda config --add channels MDAnalysis

Then install MDAnalysis

conda install mdanalysis

Update MDAnalysis

conda update mdanalysis

Distributions

Some third-party repositories might have binary packages of MDAnalysis but we are not currently making any binary packages available.
