Introduction

idmtools is a collection of Python scripts and utilities designed to streamline interactions with disease modeling workflows. It can be used to run simulations on various platforms, including COMPS, Slurm, and Docker containers.

Documentation

Documentation is located at https://institutefordiseasemodeling.github.io/idmtools/.

User Installation

Pre-requisites

• Python 3.8/3.9/3.10/3.11/3.12 x64-bit
• OS:
  • Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise
  • Linux
  • macOS (10.15 Catalina or later)
• Docker or Docker Desktop(required for the container platform) On Windows, please use Docker Desktop 4.0.0 or later
• Mac user: Only support Intel based x86_64 architecture if you want to run emodpy related disease models on Docker container platform. Apple based ARM architecture currently is not supported.

Installation

• Create and activate a virtual environment:

  python -m venv idmtools
  source idmtools/bin/activate  # On macOS/Linux
  idmtools\Scripts\activate     # On Windows
  

• Full installation:

  pip install idmtools[full]

  This will install all idmtools packages, except the idmtools-test package. The installation includes core, CLI, models, COMPS, General, Container, and Slurm platforms.

• Only install packages for running simulations in COMPS:

  pip install idmtools[idm]

  This will install the idmtools core, CLI, models, and COMPS platform.

• Only install packages for running simulations in Slurm cluster:

  pip install idmtools[slurm]

  This will install the idmtools core, CLI, models and Slurm platform.

• Only install packages for running simulations in Docker container locally:

  pip install idmtools[container]

  This will install the idmtools core, CLI, models, General, and Container platforms.

• For run unittests, you may need to install the idmtools-test package:

  pip install idmtools-test

• Note: If running above command on macOS, you may need to escape the square brackets with a backslash. for example:

  pip install idmtools\[full\]

Advanced install

You can also install just the individual packages to create minimal environments:

• pip install idmtools - Core package
• pip install idmtools-cli - Adds the idmtools cli commands
• pip install idmtools-platform-comps - Support for COMPS
• pip install idmtools-models - Python and generic models
• pip install idmtools-platform-general - Support for File/Process Platforms
• pip install idmtools-platform-slurm - Support for Slurm Platform
• pip install idmtools-platform-container - Support for Container Platform
• pip install idmtools-test - Test package
