RDKit is a collection of cheminformatics and machine-learning software written in C++ and Python.

  • BSD license - a business friendly license for open source
  • Core data structures and algorithms in C++
  • Python 3.x wrapper generated using Boost.Python
  • Java and C# wrappers generated with SWIG
  • 2D and 3D molecular operations
  • Descriptor and Fingerprint generation for machine learning
  • Molecular database cartridge for PostgreSQL supporting substructure and similarity searches as well as many descriptor calculators
  • Cheminformatics nodes for KNIME
  • Contrib folder with useful community-contributed software harnessing the power of the RDKit

Binary distributions, anaconda, homebrew

  • binaries for conda python or, if you are using the conda-forge stack, the RDKit is also available from conda-forge.
  • RPMs for RedHat Enterprise Linux, Centos, and Fedora. Contributed by Gianluca Sforna.
  • debs for Ubuntu and other Debian-derived Linux distros. Contributed by the Debichem team.
  • homebrew formula for building on the Mac. Contributed by Eddie Cao.
  • recipes for building using the excellent conda package manager. Contributed by Riccardo Vianello.
