Downloads
PyRosetta is available for Intel-based Mac's (64-bit OS X v10.5+) and M1-arm64 Mac's as well as on Linux (64-bit Red Hat and 64-bit Ubuntu) platforms in continuous release versions (usually we have a fresh builds available daily). Running on Windows-10 (thought Unix layer) is are also supported. In order to run PyRosetta you will need to use Python-3.6 or later. If you would like to build PyRosetta from source please see relevant section in [Documentation] page. DEPRECATED: Running x84 PyRosetta on M1 based Mac's in emulation mode
A PyRosetta license is required in order to download and use PyRosetta. Licensing is free for academic and non-profit institutions and is available to commercial users for a fee. Academic and commercial licensing of PyRosetta is handled the license similar to standard Rosetta license through Rosetta Commons. Please click [HERE] for more information.
Please use our forums for technical support and assistance or if you have any questions or problems with installing PyRosetta.
PyRosetta binaries is available in three different forms: (a) as Python packages, (b) Python-wheel packages and (c) as Conda packages. Using Python-wheel package is a recommended way to install PyRosetta.

RosettaCommons Conda Channel
The RosettaCommons conda channel provides conda packages for each weekly releases. Currently PyRosetta.release packages for Python 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9 provided for both Mac and Linux platforms. Note that when possible we intend to keep all released packages available (i.e old releases packages will not be deleted), so it should be safe to publish your results and use explicit PyRosetta version to ensure reproducibility. To use RosettaCommons channel edit your local ~/.condarc and add https://conda.graylab.jhu.edu into your channels list. Then run conda install pyrosetta (or conda install pyrosetta=<version> if you want to install specific version of PyRosetta).
Example ~/.condarc for WEST cost (if unsure use this mirror):
channels:
- https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@conda.rosettacommons.org
# some of PyRosetta versions might require conda-forge channel, uncomment line below if you want to use it
# - conda-forge
- defaults
Example ~/.condarc for EAST cost:
channels:
- https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@conda.graylab.jhu.edu
# some of PyRosetta versions might require conda-forge channel, uncomment line below if you want to use it
# - conda-forge
- defaults
PyRosetta Binaries in Git repositories
Use this if you want to frequently update PyRosetta version. (To upgrade simply run 'git pull' on checked out repository. Please note that Git history automatically truncated to store only ~2 last revisions to save disk space.)
To checkout repository with PyRosetta binaries use following command line (replacing 'login' with your user name):
% git clone https://login@git-repository-address
So for example Mac command line will be:
% git clone https://login@graylab.jhu.edu/download/PyRosetta4/git/release/PyRosetta4.Release.python27.mac.release.git
In order to update these repositories, you must use:
% git fetch && git reset --hard origin/master && git clean -fd
For a full list of available git repositories please see: [PyRosetta-4, Git repositories] (you will need to enter your user name and password to access this page)

Installation Instructions
GNU/Linux and Mac OS X
PyRosetta is distributed as a standard Python "distutils" package, which is compatible with most Python package management systems. (Though due to licensing issues, it is not available through pip.) There are two major ways to install PyRosetta: either into your standard system Python, or using a Python environment manager. Installation into the system Python is easier and makes PyRosetta available at all times, though it makes upgrading PyRosetta more difficult and may require administrator access. Using an environment manager is more flexible and permits installation as a normal (non-admin) user, but requires more effort in understanding the system.
In addition to standard 'setup.py' package we provide Python wheel packages (use '.wheel' download links). Wheel package significantly reduce install time but requires `pip` to be present on your system. To install PyRosetta from wheel use `pip install pyrosetta-<version>.whl` command.
System-wide install (using system Python):
Obtain a Rosetta license from to receive a username and password.
Download the appropriate version of PyRosetta from the links above.
Unpack the downloaded file to the location of your choice to create the PyRosetta directory.
(From a terminal/console window, you can unpack the archive using the command: tar -vjxf PyRosetta-<version>.tar.bz2.
For 'python' package from within the new PyRosetta directory, type cd setup && sudo python setup.py install into the command line to set up the PyRosetta.
For wheel package (recommended ) do: pip install <path-to-wheel-package>
Start Python.
In Python, you should be able to import the PyRosetta library with the command import pyrosetta; pyrosetta.init().
(If this step does not produce a complaint or error, your installation has been successful.)
Once you've installed PyRosetta, the downloaded PyRosetta archive file and the associated directory from steps 2 and 3 are no longer needed.
Installation with an environment manager:
Before beginning, be sure that your desired environment manager (e.g. conda or virtualenv) is installed in your system. Please see tutorials for the corresponding environment manager to learn how to install and use them.
Obtain a Rosetta license from to receive a username and password.
Download the appropriate version of PyRosetta from the links above.
Using the environment manager, create a new environment for this version of PyRosetta. (conda; virtualenv)
(The corresponding version of Python should be the only dependency required.)
Activate the new environment.
Unpack the downloaded file to the location of your choice to create the PyRosetta directory.
(From a terminal/console window, you can unpack the archive using the command: tar -vjxf PyRosetta-<version>.tar.bz2.
From within the new PyRosetta directory, type cd setup && python setup.py install into the command line to set up the PyRosetta.
Start Python.
In Python, you should be able to import the PyRosetta library with the command import pyrosetta; pyrosetta.init().
(If this step does not produce a complaint or error, your installation has been successful.)
Once you've installed PyRosetta, the downloaded PyRosetta archive file and the associated directory from steps 2 and 5 are no longer needed.
If you installed PyRosetta within an environment manager, remember to re-activate the corresponding PyRosetta environment each time you wish to use PyRosetta.
