-Cryo-EM Heterogeniety Challenge
+Cryo-EM Heterogeneity Challenge
-This repository contains the code used to analyse the submissions for the [Inaugural Flatiron Cryo-EM Heterogeneity Challenge](https://www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron/center-for-computational-biology/structural-and-molecular-biophysics-collaboration/heterogeneity-in-cryo-electron-microscopy/).
+
+
+
+
+
+
-## Scope
+
-This repository explains how to preprocess a submission (80 maps and corresponding probability distribution), and analyze it. Challenge participants can benchmark their submissions locally against the ground truth and other submissions that are available on the cloud via the Open Science Foundation project [The Inaugural Flatiron Institute Cryo-EM Heterogeneity Community Challenge](https://osf.io/8h6fz/).
+
+
+
-## Warning
+
-This is a work in progress, while the code will probably not change, we are still writting better tutorials, documentation, and other ideas for analyzing the data. We are also in the process of making it easier for other people to contribute with their own metrics and methods. We are also in the process of distributiing the code to PyPi

+# Accesing the data
The data is available via the Open Science Foundation project [The Inaugural Flatiron Institute Cryo-EM Heterogeneity Community Challenge](https://osf.io/8h6fz/). You can download via a web browser, or programatically with wget as per [this script](https://github.com/flatironinstitute/Cryo-EM-Heterogeneity-Challenge-1/blob/main/tests/scripts/fetch_test_data.sh).
+**_NOTE_**: We recommend downloadaing the data with the script and wget as the downloads from the web browser might be unstable.
-## Installation
+# Installation
+## Stable installation
Installing this repository is simply. We recommend creating a virtual environment (using conda or pyenv), since we have dependencies such as PyTorch or Aspire, which are better dealt with in an isolated environment. After creating your environment, make sure to activate it and run

+## Developer installation
+If you are interested in testing the programs previously installed, please, install the repository in development mode with the following commands:
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/Cryo-EM-Heterogeneity-Challenge-1

+# Running
+If you want to run our code on the full challenge data, or you own local data, please complete the following steps
+
+### 1. Download the full challenge data from [The Inaugural Flatiron Institute Cryo-EM Heterogeneity Community Challenge](https://osf.io/8h6fz/)
+You can do this through the web browser, or programatically with wget (you can get inspiration from [this script](https://github.com/flatironinstitute/Cryo-EM-Heterogeneity-Challenge-1/blob/main/tests/scripts/fetch_test_data.sh), which is just for the test data, not the full datasets)
