1. Effortless installation

Tip

If you just want to quickly try out CONCEPT and are familiar with Docker, you may choose to run the code off of a provided Docker image, bypassing the below installation. See the Docker tab here.

If this is your first time trying out CONCEPT, it is advised to do the installation on your local machine, not on a remote cluster.

Note

Though CONCEPT may be installed on Windows through the Windows Subsytem for Linux, installing on a native Linux system is recommended. The installation will not work on macOS.

To install the latest version of CONCEPT along with all of its dependencies, open a terminal and invoke

bash <(wget -O- --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jmd-dk/concept/master/install)

You will be prompted for an installation directory.

Note

The initial bash is required regardless of your shell

The installation will take an hour or two. You can kill the installation at any time — it will pick up from where it left off if you re-enter the installation command.

For full documentation on the installation process, consult Installation.
