MDAnalysis command line interface

mdacli is a simple command line interface (CLI) to the analysis classes of MDAnalysis using argparse. Contributions are welcome!

To install mdacli refer to the INSTALL file.

Run mdacli:

mda -h

For a help and an overview of the supported modules. A help message for each module is available using:

mda <module> -h
