LipidXplorer works on Microsoft Windows and Linux. A Mac version is not compiled yet, but if there are users asking for it, we would help to get a Mac-Ready version.
Requirements
LipidXplorer requires
Or go to the homepage of Python (http://www.python.org), wxPython (http://www.wxpython.org) or NumPy (http://www.numpy.org).
Please download and install the software mentioned above before starting LipidXplorer.
Download link
LipidXplorer can be downloaded here. Unzip it and store the folder at any place you prefer. LipidXplorer is started with a double click on "LipidXplorer.py". In the "mfql" folder you find example queries taken from the LipidXplorer paper[1].
Optional requirements
LipidXplorer supports the generic file formats *.mzML and *.mzXML. Raw spectra as they are produced by the mass spectrometer have to be converted into one of those formats before they can be used with LipidXplorer. The recommended converter is MSConvert from the ProteoWizard package. It supports the formats of the main mass spectrometer vendors and is maintained by a team of developers. I comes with an easy-to-use graphical user interface.
We tested LipidXplorer with Python 2.6 for 64Bit processors on a 64Bit machine. This did not work!
But having Python 2.6 for 32Bit processors worked also on the 64Bit machine![1] Herzog, R., Schwudke, D., Schuhmann, K., Sampaio, J.L., Bornstein, S.R., Schroeder, M., and Shevchenko, A. 2011. A novel informatics concept for high-throughput shotgun lipidomics based on the molecular fragmentation query language. Genome Biol 12(1): R8.
