# Molecular Design Toolkit
Molecular modeling without the pain - a Python library offering integrated simulation, visualization, analysis, and cloud computing.
The toolkit aims to lower the barriers between you and your science by integrating mature, open source simulation packages with a readable abstract API, Jupyter notebook visualization, and native cloud computing.
## Get started
MDT requires [Docker](https://www.docker.com/get-docker) and Python 2.7. (Python 3.5+ is supported in the development version, and will be available in the stable 0.8 release.)
On the command line, run:
```shell
pip install moldesign
python -m moldesign intro
```
Note: depending on how python is installed on your system, some users may need to install the package as root: `sudo pip install moldesign`.
The best way to get started is to play with the examples that `python -m moldesign intro` will pull up. See [the documentation](https://autodesk.github.io/molecular-design-toolkit/) for complete API docs, development instructions and other installation scenarios.
## Code Example
You'll almost always import the package and its units module:
```python
import moldesign as mdt
from moldesign import units as u
```
Download a protein from the PDB and visualize it in 3D (in a notebook):
```python
protease = mdt.from_pdb('3AID')
protease.draw()
```
Create a small molecule and relax its geometry:
```python
mol = mdt.from_name('bipyridine')
mol.set_energy_model(mdt.models.RHF(basis='STO-3G'))
min_trajectory = mol.minimize(nsteps=20)
min_trajectory.draw_orbitals()
```
For in-depth examples, see the built-in example notebooks (run `python -m moldesign intro` to launch).
