Installation¶

sbml2cellml requires python 3.13 or 3.14 and is available from pypi. The dependencies python-libsbml and libcellml ship wheels for Linux, macOS and Windows.

With uv¶

uv add sbml2cellml

or into an existing virtual environment

uv pip install sbml2cellml

Simulators¶

The simulators are optional, see Simulation: roadrunner simulates the SBML models, libopencor the CellML models. The simulate extra adds libopencor together with pandas and matplotlib for the timecourse results and plots of sbml2cellml.simulate:

pip install "sbml2cellml[simulate]"

roadrunner¶

roadrunner is available from pypi:

pip install libroadrunner

libopencor¶

libopencor is available from pypi and installed with the simulate extra. Wheels exist for python 3.12 to 3.14 on Linux (x86_64, aarch64), macOS (Intel, Apple silicon) and Windows. Without libopencor everything except sbml2cellml.simulate works.

Running the SBML test suite¶

The testsuite extra adds libroadrunner and requests for the sbml2cellml-testsuite command:

pip install "sbml2cellml[testsuite]"

It includes the simulate extra and with it libopencor.
