A Dockerfile would be really useful to provide so the entire database could be built from scratch (all dependencies, resources, etc.)

In my experience, it is really challenging to install pypath. We have some interns who are neither computer science students nor software engineers and are doing to figure out pypath. They always need our help. A docker image would be worth for any developers.

Hi @ntung, we are currently working on it. The docker image will be provided soon. In the meantime, can you maybe provide your usual setup (OS, python version, etc.)?

In my experience, it is really challenging to install pypath.

Since we recently removed igraph and hence cairo from the mandatory dependencies it's not so challenging any more. I think on any operating system one can simply do pip install git+git://github.com/saezlab/pypath.git
