# Installation

## Stable release

To install `proteinsolver` into a new conda environment, run the following command:

```bash
conda create -n proteinsolver -c conda-forge -c kimlab -c ostrokach-forge proteinsolver
conda activate proteinsolver
```

This is the preferred method to install `proteinsolver`, as it will always install the most recent stable release and will also install all dependencies.

If you don't have [conda] installed, this [Python installation guide] can guide
you through the process.

Once you have a copy of the source, you can install it with:
