In the following guide, we provide step-by-step instructions on setting up and running MOSAIC on Windows. To simplify the isntallation, we use Anaconda_ to install some required dependencies.

1. Installing Anaconda

First we will install Anaconda_ to easily install the dependencies required by MOSAIC. Download the 64-bit Anaconda_ installer for Python 2.7 and use the graphical installer.

Warning

MOSAIC is not yet compatible with Python_ 3. Please ensure that you install Anaconda_ for Python_ 2.7

2. Installing MOSAIC dependencies within Anaconda

MOSAIC is written in Python_ 2.7 and utilizes a number of different packages and utilities. In the following we’ll install a number of these (specifically, python, gcc, gfortran, qt, and pyQt4). With Anaconda_ this is easy to do.

First, we create a self-contained environment to host the MOSAIC installation. Open the Anaconda_ prompt (Start Menu–>Anaconda 2–>Anaconda Prompt) and type:

Activate the new environment:

Add a new installation source (conda-forge) for packages that are not included with Anaconda_ out of the box:

Install all the dependencies by typing:

Hint

The latest dependency version numbers can be obtained from the requirements.txt file.

Install the MOSAIC source by cloning the Github repository or using one of the methods below.

3. Installing MOSAIC

Install using Setuptools

The command-line version of MOSAIC can be installed using pip as shown below. Any additional dependencies required by MOSAIC will be installed automatically.

Note

Installing the graphical interface requires one to install MOSAIC from the source distribution as outlined below.

Install from a Downloaded Source Distribution

First we need to obtain the MOSAIC source code. For analyzing publication data, we recommend downloading the latest stable version of the source code (`download source`_). Alternatively, the latest development version can be downloaded from the `MOSAIC page on Github`_. Here we will show you how to set up MOSAIC from the latest stable release:

Mosaic 1 0 3 – Professional Level Window Management System

1. Download the latest release (`download source`_)

2. Create a directory for the project source. In this case we will create a directory called MOSAIC, located in ~/projects/, where ‘~’ is your home directory.

3. Navigate to the directory:

4. Extract the source into this folder.

5. Make sure you are working in the virtual environment we set up in the previous step by typing:

Note

You will notice that (MOSAIC) now appears in front of the $ prompt in your shell. This inidicates that the virtual environment is active. We have employed this notation to indicate commands that should be run from inside the virtual environment.

6. MOSAIC and its dependencies are built using setuptools. Navigate to ~/projects/MOSAIC/ and run the following:

7. Finally, add the installation directory (~/projects/MOSAIC as set up previously) to your PYTHONPATH as shown below. This addition can be made permanent by adding the line below to your .bash_profile (OS X) or .bashrc (Ubuntu) script.

4. Testing MOSAIC

To test the MOSAIC installation, in the MOSAIC directory type

Verify that all tests pass as seen below
