+Figure 1 shows the overview of KGNN. It takes the parsed DDI matrix and knowledge graph obtained from preprocessing of dataset as the input. It outputs the interaction value for the drug-drug pair. 
+
+# Requirement
+To run the code, you need the following dependencies:
+* Python == 3.6.6
+* Keras == 2.3.0
+* Tensorflow == 1.13.1
+* scikit-learn == 0.22
+
+# Installation
+You can create a virtual environment using [conda](https://github.com/conda/conda).
+```bash
+conda create -n kgnn python=3.6.6  
+source activate kgnn  
+git clone https://github.com/xzenglab/KGNN.git  
+cd KGNN  
+pip install -r requirement.txt  
+```
+
+# Dataset
+We just provide the preprocessed KG from KEGG-drug dataset owing to the size limited. And you can directly download the original DrugBank dataset ([V5.1.4](https://www.drugbank.ca/releases/5-1-4)). Note that the construction of KG please refer to [Bio2RDF](https://github.com/bio2rdf/bio2rdf-scripts/wiki) tool in detail.
