BioSimulators-BoolNet
=====================

BioSimulators-compliant command-line interface to the
`BoolNet <https://sysbio.uni-ulm.de/?Software:BoolNet>`__ simulation
program.

This command-line interface and Docker image enable users to use BoolNet
to execute `COMBINE/OMEX archives <https://combinearchive.org/>`__ that
describe one or more simulation experiments (in `SED-ML
format <https://sed-ml.org>`__) of one or more logical models (in
`SBML-qual format <http://sbml.org]>`__).

A list of the algorithms and algorithm parameters supported by BoolNet
is available at
`BioSimulators <https://biosimulators.org/simulators/boolnet>`__.

A simple web application and web service for using BoolNet to execute
COMBINE/OMEX archives is also available at
`runBioSimulations <https://run.biosimulations.org>`__.

Installation
------------

Install Python package
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

::

   pip install biosimulators-boolnet

Install Docker image
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

::

   docker pull ghcr.io/biosimulators/boolnet

Usage
-----

Local usage
~~~~~~~~~~~

::

   usage: biosimulators-boolnet [-h] [-d] [-q] -i ARCHIVE [-o OUT_DIR] [-v]

   BioSimulators-compliant command-line interface to the BoolNet simulation program <https://sysbio.uni-ulm.de/?Software:BoolNet>.

   optional arguments:
     -h, --help            show this help message and exit
     -d, --debug           full application debug mode
     -q, --quiet           suppress all console output
     -i ARCHIVE, --archive ARCHIVE
                           Path to OMEX file which contains one or more SED-ML-
                           encoded simulation experiments
     -o OUT_DIR, --out-dir OUT_DIR
                           Directory to save outputs
     -v, --version         show program's version number and exit

Usage through Docker container
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The entrypoint to the Docker image supports the same command-line
interface described above.

For example, the following command could be used to use the Docker image
to execute the COMBINE/OMEX archive ``./modeling-study.omex`` and save
its outputs to ``./``.

::

   docker run \
     --tty \
     --rm \
     --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/root/in,readonly \
     --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/root/out \
     ghcr.io/biosimulators/boolnet:latest \
       -i /root/in/modeling-study.omex \
       -o /root/out
