``CDlib`` is a meta-library for community detection in complex networks: it implements algorithms, clustering fitness functions as well as visualization facilities.

``CDlib`` is designed around the ``networkx`` python library: however, when needed, it takes care to automatically convert (from and to) ``igraph`` object so to provide an abstraction on specific algorithm implementations to the final user.

``CDlib`` provides a standardized input/output facilities for several Community Discovery algorithms: whenever possible, to guarantee literature coherent results, implementations of CD algorithms are inherited from their original projects (acknowledged on the [documentation](https://cdlib.readthedocs.io)).

If you use ``CDlib`` as support to your research consider citing:

## Tutorial and Online Environments

Check out the official [tutorial](https://colab.research.google.com/github/GiulioRossetti/cdlib/blob/master/docs/CDlib.ipynb) to get started!

If you would like to test ``CDlib`` functionalities without installing anything on your machine consider using the preconfigured Jupyter Hub instances offered by [SoBigData++](https://sobigdata.d4science.org/group/sobigdata-gateway/explore?siteId=20371853).

## Installation

``CDlib`` *requires* python>=3.8.

To install the latest version of our library just download (or clone) the current project, open a terminal and run the following commands:

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements_optional.txt # (Optional) this might not work in Windows systems due to C-based dependencies.
pip install .
```

Alternatively use pip
```bash
pip install cdlib
```

or conda
```bash
conda create -n cdlib python=3.9
conda config --add channels giuliorossetti
conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda install cdlib
```

### Optional Dependencies (pip package)
To simplify the installation process, the default installation does not include optional dependencies (e.g., ``graph-tool``). If you need them, you can install them manually or run the following command:

```bash
pip install 'cdlib[C]'
```

This option, safe for *nix users, will install all those optional dependencies that require C code compilation.

```bash
pip install 'cdlib[pypi]'
```

This option will install all those optional dependencies that are not available on conda/conda-forge.

```bash
pip install 'cdlib[all]'
```

This option will install all optional dependencies accessible with the flag ``C`` and ``pypi``.

#### (Advanced)

Due to some strict requirements, the installation of a subset of optional dependencies is left outside the previous procedures.

##### graph-tool
``CDlib`` integrates the support for SBM models offered by ``graph-tool``.
To install it refer to the official [documentation](https://git.skewed.de/count0/graph-tool/wikis/installation-instructions) and install the conda-forge version of the package (or the deb version if in a *nix system).

##### ASLPAw

Since its 2.1.0 release ``ASLPAw`` relies on ``gmpy2`` whose installation through pip is not easy to automatize due to some C dependencies.
To address such issue test the following recipe:

```bash
conda install gmpy2
pip install shuffle_graph>=2.1.0 similarity-index-of-label-graph>=2.0.1 ASLPAw>=2.1.0
```

In case this does not solve the issue, please refer to the official ``gmpy2`` [installation](https://gmpy2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html#installation) instructions.

### Optional Dependencies (Conda package)

``CDlib`` relies on a few packages not available through conda: to install them please use pip.

```bash
pip install pycombo
pip install GraphRicciCurvature

conda install gmpy2
pip install shuffle_graph>=2.1.0 similarity-index-of-label-graph>=2.0.1 ASLPAw>=2.1.0
```

In case ASLPAw installation fails, please refer to the official ``gmpy2`` [installation](https://gmpy2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html#installation) instructions.
