Archive Context

Windows:

• After installation, try running:
  • e2version.py
  • e2speedtest.py
  • e2display.py
• Do not try to run EMAN2 programs using desktop Icons. You need to open a command prompt and run the commands from there. Even the GUI tools should be launched this way.

Additional tips:

• Bold text, you should put the EMAN2 'source' after the EMAN1 'source' in your .bashrc file.

• List 2

Testing

After installing on any of the systems below, you should test to make sure it's working. While we have unit testing, it is mainly for developers. Instead, we suggest just running the following 4 basic tests:

• e2version.py (make sure the displayed version is what you expect, including the timestamp. If you have any problems we need you to include the output from this command in your message)
• e2speedtest.py (will also give you the relative speed to expect from your machine)
• e2projectmanager.py (if the GUI pops up, it's working)
• e2proc2d.py anyimagefile bdb:test (anyimagefile is any 2d image or stack supported by eman2, this will make sure the database works)

Environement Variable Setting For EMAN2 (All platforms)

In some rare cases, the EMAN2 installer will not be able to update your environment variables properly. In such cases, we need set up environment variables like PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PYTHONPATH for EMAN2 to work correctly. These environment variables should be automatically set when you run eman-installer script when you install binary EMAN release.
