Installing Sequenzo

If you haven't installed Python, please follow Yuqi's tutorial about how to set up Python and your virtual environment.

You can install and use Sequenzo from any environment: a plain terminal, VS Code, Jupyter, or any Python IDE. The only required step is the pip install command below. If you are new to Python and not sure what to use, we recommend PyCharm as your IDE (Integrated Development Environment, the place where you open your folder and files to work with Python). PyCharm includes built-in virtual-environment management, which helps keep package installations isolated and reproducible.

In PyCharm, please make sure to select a virtual environment using Python 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, or 3.14 as these versions are supported by sequenzo. Windows wheels are currently available through Python 3.13.

Then, you can open the built-in terminal by clicking the Terminal icon in the left sidebar (usually near the bottom). It looks like a small command-line window icon.

Once it’s open, type the following to install sequenzo:

python -m pip install sequenzo

If you have installation issues, it may be because both Python 2 and Python 3 are installed on your computer. In this case, use the Python 3 interpreter explicitly:

python3 -m pip install sequenzo

For more information about the latest stable release and required dependencies, please refer to PyPI.

To confirm the installed version:

python -c "import sequenzo; print(sequenzo.__version__)"

After installation, run the Quickstart or open View Our Tutorials Online.
