Biobb (BioExcel building blocks) packages are Python building blocks that create new layer of compatibility and interoperability over popular bioinformatics tools. The latest documentation of this package can be found in our readthedocs site: [latest API documentation](http://biobb-vs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). > At the time of publishing the current version, **autodock_vina has not been compiled for the new ARM mac M1/M2 chips**. So the vina.autodock_vina_run only work in these computers through docker containers. ### Version v5.2.1 2025.2 ### Installation Using PIP: > **Important:** PIP only installs the package. All the dependencies must be installed separately. To perform a complete installation, please use ANACONDA or DOCKER. * Installation: pip install "biobb_vs>=5.2.1" * Usage: [Python API documentation](https://biobb-vs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modules.html) Using ANACONDA: * Installation: conda install -c bioconda "biobb_vs>=5.2.1" * Usage: With conda installation BioBBs can be used with the [Python API documentation](https://biobb-vs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modules.html) and the [Command Line documentation](https://biobb-vs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command_line.html) Using DOCKER: * Installation: docker pull quay.io/biocontainers/biobb_vs:5.2.1--pyhdfd78af_0 * Usage: docker run quay.io/biocontainers/biobb_vs:5.2.1--pyhdfd78af_0 Using SINGULARITY: **MacOS users**: it's strongly recommended to avoid Singularity and use **Docker** as containerization system. * Installation: singularity pull --name biobb_vs.sif https://depot.galaxyproject.org/singularity/biobb_vs:5.2.1--pyhdfd78af_0 * Usage: singularity exec biobb_vs.sif The command list and specification can be found at the [Command Line documentation](https://biobb-vs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command_line.html). ### Copyright & Licensing This software has been developed in the [MMB group](http://mmb.irbbarcelona.org) at the [BSC](http://www.bsc.es/) & [IRB](https://www.irbbarcelona.org/) for the [European BioExcel](http://bioexcel.eu/), funded by the European Commission (EU Horizon Europe [101093290](https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101093290), EU H2020 [823830](http://cordis.europa.eu/projects/823830), EU H2020 [675728](http://cordis.europa.eu/projects/675728)). * (c) 2015-2026 [Barcelona Supercomputing Center](https://www.bsc.es/) * (c) 2015-2026 [Institute for Research in Biomedicine](https://www.irbbarcelona.org/) Licensed under the [Apache License 2.0](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0), see the file LICENSE for details. ![](https://bioexcel.eu/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Bioexcell_logo_1080px_transp.png "Bioexcel")
