The tool XYZ is really useful for computing XYZ…

However, it can be challenging to install on Mac OS because:

First, you need to install dependencies:

$ brew install zlib bgzip2
$ pip install xyz

Then you can import xyz in your Python code:

from xyz import biology

def test():
    for x in biology.stuff():
        print(x)

To use this library in your R code:

install.packages("xyz")
library(xyz)
a <- c(1, 2, 3)
