I am looking through the Biopython Tutorial and Cookbook (http://biopython.org/DIST/docs/tutorial/Tutorial.html) and in order to look at DSSP files with biopython, I need to obtain a copy and license of DSSP from this link (https://swift.cmbi.umcn.nl/gv/dssp/). Could somebody please explain how I take the files from github and install them to my computer? I downloaded the files on my computer and put them in my current working directory in python and I'm still not able to use DSSP files in biopython 
I'd suggest using `conda` to install it:

`conda install -c salilab dssp`

So long as you have the `dssp`* binary available in your `$PATH`, BioPython should be happy.


*It may be called `mkdssp`
