 ## mzLib, an all-purpose mass spectrometry toolchest implemented by MetaMorpheus
 
 [mzLib](https://github.com/smith-chem-wisc/mzLib) is a [nuget](https://www.nuget.org/packages/mzLib/) package that we created as an all-purpose toolchest for mass-spec data analysis and many of its functions provide the tools for MetaMorpheus. mzLib is freely available for use in mass-spec applications. You do not need to download mzLib separately to run MetaMorpheus; it is already included.
