Quick Start

The quickest way to see py4cytoscape in action is via the Overview of py4cytoscape Jupyter-based workflow.

You can avoid installing Python or py4cytoscape by clicking on the Open in Colab button, and running the Python workflow in the Google Cloud, though you will still have to install Cytoscape on your workstation.

You can follow the notes in the Jupyter Notebook as the workflow automates Cytoscape execution.
