EMAN1 Installation and Tips

Binary Packages

We provide EMAN1 binary packages on several platforms: Linux(x86), Linux(x86_64), SGI(Irix6.5), Win32, Mac OS X. For Linux copy, there are stand alone version and cluster version. For 32 bit Linux platform, Linux(x86), there is a athlon version which is for athlon based machine. This athlon version linked with a athtlon optimized fftw library, fftw-gel.

If you are not sure your Linux is 32 bit or 64 bit, you can type "uname -m -p". If it print out x86_64, it is a 64 bit machine. Or it print out i686, i386 etc., it is a 32 bit machine.

On Linux or SGI platform, after you untar the binary package, it will create a directory called "EMAN", you have to run eman-installer script in this directory and follow the output instruction. This eman-installer is a shell script which will create a shell script to setup the corresponding environment variables for you.

We limit the external library dependecy by linking them statically as much as we can. So you don't need
