Revision as of 13:53, 16 July 2012
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 for Windows
LipidXplorer 32Bit requires
LipidXplorer 64Bit requires
- Python 2.7 here
- wxPython 2.8 (for Python 2.7) here
- numPy (for Python 2.7 64Bit): Since Numpy is officially not supported for 64Bit there is an unofficial version here which can be used and installed. Please select numpy-unoptimized-1.6.2.win-amd64-py2.7.exe.
Please download and install the software mentioned above before starting LipidXplorer.
The requirements for Linux are the same. However, the links above are only for the Windows version. For Linux, please check out the repositories of your distribution. Further, the Python C extensions have to be build separately on Linux. Please contact me (Email) for further information.
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.
