| 4 | | First, get the setuptools package installed. Note the following has some version specific details that need attention for any current installation. At the time of writing, this installation used a specific svn-build of Chimera (2010-08-05) and a specific version of setuptools for the version of python that was built for Chimera (python2.7). It also assumes that Chimera was installed with sudo privileges, but that is not necessary (this should work for a user installation too, without the sudo privileges). |
| | 4 | Get a [http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/download.html#daily, daily build of Chimera]. In the examples below, it was a linux-64 build from 2010-08-05. To run the installation (accept all the defaults in the prompts): |
| | 5 | |
| | 6 | {{{ |
| | 7 | $ cd ~/Downloads/ |
| | 8 | $ chmod +x chimera-alpha-linux_x86_64.exe |
| | 9 | $ sudo chimera-alpha-linux_x86_64.exe |
| | 10 | }}} |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | This will install Chimera into {{{/opt/UCSF/Chimera64-2010-08-05}}} and I like to have it install symlinks into |
| | 13 | {{{ |
| | 14 | $ ls -al /usr/local/bin/chimera* |
| | 15 | lrwxrwxrwx 2 root root 42 2010-08-24 14:45 /usr/local/bin/chimera -> /opt/UCSF/Chimera64-2010-08-05/bin/chimera |
| | 16 | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 2010-08-05 14:53 /usr/local/bin/chimera-2010-08-05 -> /opt/UCSF/Chimera64-2010-08-05/bin/chimera |
| | 17 | }}} |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | In the following notes, a few environment variables are set to simplify executing the new installation programs, i.e.: |
| | 20 | {{{ |
| | 21 | $ export CHIMERA=/opt/UCSF/Chimera64-2010-08-05 |
| | 22 | $ export PATH=$PATH:$CHIMERA/bin/ |
| | 23 | $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CHIMERA/lib |
| | 24 | }}} |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | Now get the setuptools package installed. Note the following has some version specific details that need attention for any current installation. At the time of writing, this installation used a specific svn-build of Chimera (2010-08-05) and a specific version of setuptools for the version of python that was built for Chimera (python2.7).
