Installation
Recommended installation method:
Predixy is available on PyPI, so simply install it using pip:
pip install predixy

Manual installation:
Navigate to the top level folder of the downloaded/cloned repository. Then you can either run the setup.py script or manually install requirements using pip.
Installation using setup.py:
python setup.py install

Install dependencies using pip:
pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the program
If you installed the program from PyPI or using the setup.py, you will have predixy in your PATH and can run it from anywhere. Just run:
predixy INFILE

If you only installed the dependencies, you can need to navigate to the top level folder containing predixy.py and run:
python predixy.py INFILE

The INFILE should be a .xyz or Gaussian .in file containing the xyz coordinates in Angstrom of the molecule you would like to analyze.

predixy --help

or:
python predixy.py --help

Editing the configuration file
Edit the config.ini file using your favorite editor. Lines starting with # and ; are comments. Do not delete lines as this will cause errors.
The location of the config file can be retrieved from the program by using the help.
