+opentox-ruby
+============
+
+Ruby wrapper for the [OpenTox](http://www.opentox.org) REST API
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+opentox-ruby depends on many third party programs and libraries, which makes the setup complicated and error prone. For this reason we recommend to use the installer from [opentox-install](http://github.com/opentox/opentox-install). If you want to install manually you can find the necessary steps in the installation scripts.
+
+Quickstart
+----------
+
+This example shows how to create a lazar model and predict a compound, it assumes that you have access to a working installation of OpenTox services with corresponding settings in $HOME/.opentox/config. Run the following code in irb or from a ruby script:
+
+ require 'rubygems'
+ require 'opentox-ruby'
+
+ # Authenticate
+ subjectid = OpenTox::Authorization.authenticate(USER,PASSWORD)
+
+ # Upload a dataset
+ training_dataset = OpenTox::Dataset.create_from_csv_file(TRAINING_DATASET, subjectid)
+
+ # Create a prediction model
+ model_uri = OpenTox::Algorithm::Lazar.new.run({:dataset_uri => training_dataset.uri, :subjectid => subjectid}).to_s
+ lazar = OpenTox::Model::Lazar.find model_uri, subjectid
+
+ # Predict a compound
+ compound = OpenTox::Compound.from_smiles("c1ccccc1NN")
+ prediction_uri = lazar.run(:compound_uri => compound.uri, :subjectid => subjectid)
+ prediction = OpenTox::LazarPrediction.find(prediction_uri, subjectid)
+ puts prediction.to_yaml
