Installing refgenie

Refgenie is not distributed via regular PyPi just yet (Transitionary Period and Command Mismatch)

We are currently in a transitionary period where refgenie1 will supersede the original refgenie package on PyPI. During this transition:

  • Package Installation: You must install refgenie1 (not refgenie)
  • Command Usage: You must use the refgenie1 command (not refgenie)
  • Documentation: All commands in this documentation are written as refgenie for future-proofing, but you need to substitute refgenie1 in practice

Download and install the wheel from any release found here: https://github.com/refgenie/refgenie1/releases

pip install refgenie1-*.whl

Next steps

Configure refgenie!

For more information on how to configure refgenie, see the Configuration documentation.
