Installation options
Luna is released under the GPLv3 license, allowing free sharing and modification of the source code. There are multiple ways to obtain Luna:
-
compile from source: see here for lunaC and lunaR, along with instructions for compilation
-
download binary executables for lunaC for Mac OS and Windows
-
install the Python package with
pip install lunapi -
or pull a Docker container, which allows any machine with Docker installed on it to run Luna (both lunaC and either lunapi or lunaR) and comes with JupyerLab (or R and RStudio) and with the tutorial data pre-installed.
Advice for Linux & macOS users
For most up-to-date Linux and macOS distributions, we recommend pulling the source and compiling directly.
Advice for Windows
For Windows, we recommend using the Dockerized version of Luna to provide a complete environment in which Luna can operate best. Currently, it is the only way that you can use lunaR on Windows too.
Quick start w/ Docker
If you have trouble installing Luna via the above methods, using a Docker container may instead prove to be a relatively easy way to get a full Luna environment up and running.
Data resources
The data page contains a number of resources that can be used with Luna on any platform, including the tutorial and walk-through data.
