README for Installing BALBES under Your CCP4 Package

If you want to install the new BALBES (version 1.0.0 and after) under the ccp4 suite you have installed.
You need to do the following steps. These steps will be omitted once the new version of BALBES is within ccp4 release.
It is not in there at the moment.

  1. After you download one of gziped tar files, e.g, BALBES_1.1.1_DB_Oct_1_2010_Linux.tar.gz. Move it under CP4 package by, e.g,
     mv BALBES_1.1.1_DB_Oct_1_2010_Linux.tar.gz $CCP4/share/ 
  2.  cd $CCP4/share/ 
  3.  rm -rf balbes 
     (that will remove your old BALBES package) 
            
  4. Unpack the BALBES package e.g.
    tar zxvf BALBES_1.1.1_DB_Oct_1_2010_Linux.tar.gz 
    (or another *.tar.gz file you downloaded)
  5.  cp $CCP4/share/BALBES/Package/bin_py/balbes $CBIN/
  6. Add the following at the end of your ccp4.setup. If you use $CCP4_MASTER/setup-scripts/sh/ccp4.setup,
    export BALBES_ROOT=$CCP4/share/BALBES/Package 
    If you use $CCP4_MASTER/setup-scripts/csh/ccp4.setup,
    setenv BALBES_ROOT $CCP4/share/BALBES/Package 
  7. Close the old xterms and open new ones. Re-start ccp4i and select BALBES. The version of BALBES you are using should be the new one.
