++ Requirements++

The scripts were tested under Anaconda Navigator (Anaconda 3)

Tools: Anaconda distribution, JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebooks

+++Modules used:+++

The modules needed to run the above three scripts include the following:

Pandas; Numpy; OS; treelib; Tree(from treelib); pathlib; Path(from Path); shutil; glob; tkinter; filedialog(from tkinter); json; pprint; openpyxl; requests;

To use the MetaMap python API requires to build it on your local the Python-based API created for the Indexing Initiative Scheduler facility (NLM) used to provide users with the ability to programmatically submit jobs to the Scheduler Batch and Interactive facilities. Available at https://github.com/lhncbc/skr_web_python_api
