THIS PAGE IS OBSOLETE

The CCP4 graphical installer described here is obsolete, however an updated version is being considered for release with CCP4 version 5.


'ccp4get' CCP4 version 4.2.1 for Linux binary installer

The 'ccp4get' CCP4 version 4.2.1 for Linux binary installer is an automated graphical installation tool for installing the CCP4 4.2.1 binary release on a Linux machine. A screenshot is shown below:

Download

NOTE: As of 15/7/2002 only the UK mirror contains the new files. The JP mirror will hopfully update in a week or so, and the US mirror sometime before the end of the current geological age.

Instructions

Place the ccp4get-4.2.1.py script either in the directory where you want your new distribution, or in a temporary directory. Run the script with './ccp4get-4.2.1.py' or 'python ccp4get-4.2.1.py'. Select an FTP host and click 'Download'. Then make any other changes to the setup parameters that you require. Finally, click 'Install'.

Your CCP4 version 4.2.1 installation will be placed in a 'ccp4-4.2.1' directory in the target directory. ccp4.setup and ccp4.setup.sh scripts for tcsh and bash respectively will be created for you in the include directory. To use CCP4, simply source the appropriate setup script and you should be able to run the programs.

To install on a machine without a fast network connection, simply run the download on another machine, then quit and write both the installer and tar files to a CD. Copy these files to any directory on the target machine, re-run the installer, set the parameters and click 'Install'. Or if you prefer, download the tar files containing the source and Linux binaries from your preferred FTP site using another tool and put it in the same directory as the installer.

Customisation

You can customise your install by changing the following fields in the installer:

CCP4 For Linux 4L1 autobuild script

The CCP4 For Linux 4L1 autobuild script has been withdrawn, in preparation for the forthcoming CCP4 4.2 release.

Note: While CCP4 For Linux builds successfully on all properly configured out-of-box Red Hat versions since 6.2 and many others, I cannot guarantee it will work on intermediate or up2date versions. In particular, neither CCP4 or CCP4 For Linux will build on an up2date RedHat 7.2 machine with the recent 3.0.4 compilers. Either reinstall the original compilers, or find another machine.
