The Ersilia Model Hub is a unified platform of pre-trained AI/ML models for infectious and neglected disease research. The end goal is to provide an open-source, no-code solution to access AI/ML models to accelerate drug discovery. The models embedded in the hub include both models published in the literature (with appropriate third party acknowledgement) and models developed by the Ersilia team or contributors.

Please check the package requirements in the Installation Guide. The next steps are a quickstart guide to installing Ersilia.

1. Create a conda environment and activate it

conda create -n ersilia python=3.7
conda activate ersilia

2. Clone this repository and install with pip

git clone https://github.com/ersilia-os/ersilia.git
cd ersilia
pip install -e .

3. Once the Ersilia Model Hub is installed, you can use the CLI to run predictions. First, select a model from the Ersilia Model Hub and fetch it:

ersilia fetch chemprop-antibiotic

4. Generate a few (5) example molecules, to be used as input. The example command will generate the adequate input for the model in use

ersilia example chemprop-antibiotic -n 5 -f my_molecules.csv

5. Then, serve your model:

ersilia serve chemprop-antibiotic

6. And run the prediction API:

ersilia api -i my_molecules.csv -o my_predictions.csv

7. Finally, close the service when you are done.

ersilia close

Please see the Ersilia Book for more examples and detailed explanations. To install the Ersilia package in Windows, we recommend using an Ubuntu WSL
