Phycas Home

Phycas is a Python extension for carrying out Bayesian phylogenetic analyses. The current version (2.2.0) was posted here December 14, 2014. While it should be possible to build Phycas on most Linux systems, we can only provide pre-built versions for a couple of different combinations of operating system and Python version.

Problems?

Version 2.0 was a major revision, and we have changed the way we distribute Phycas, so it is quite possible that there are glitches that need to be worked out. If you have problems getting Phycas to work, please write to Paul Lewis.
