<> === Install binary into MiniForge (all platforms) === * ''To use this approach, you must have !MiniForge: [[https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases|Installers]] (for your platform) installed.'' * On M1/M2 Macs, make sure you have the ARM64 !MiniForge, not Intel. * On Windows 11 machines, you may '''not''' use a native Windows !MiniForge install, but rather need a Linux !MiniForge install within a [[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install|WSL2]] environment! 1. '''Update (optional):''' You may wish to consider updating !MiniForge before installing: {{{ conda update --all }}} but consider possible impact on other conda environments you may have configured if this is not a new !MiniForge install. 1. '''Install mamba (optional):''' The default '''conda''' tool used to install packages in conda sometimes gets stuck trying to check dependencies. The alternative '''mamba''' installer does a much better job, but sometimes mamba itself can have installation issues, as it's a conda-forge package. If you have difficulties with the next step getting stuck, you may try replacing '''conda''' with '''mamba''' : {{{ conda install mamba -c conda-forge }}} 1. '''Install:''' We strongly recommend installing EMAN2 within its own !MiniForge [[https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html|environment]] like this: {{{ conda create -n eman2 eman-dev -c cryoem -c conda-forge }}} ||Current version: || {{https://anaconda.org/cryoem/eman-dev/badges/version.svg}} {{https://anaconda.org/cryoem/eman-dev/badges/latest_release_date.svg}} {{https://anaconda.org/cryoem/eman-dev/badges/downloads.svg}} || || ||{{https://anaconda.org/cryoem/eman-dev/badges/platforms.svg}}|| 1. '''Activate to Use:''' Any time you want to use EMAN2 you will need to first activate the correct environment. You can deactivate when done. {{{ conda activate eman2 }}} 1. '''M1/M2 Macs (Optional):''' initial support for Tensorflow on the GPU is available via PyPi, but not conda. {{{ # with the eman2 environment activated pip install tensorflow-metal }}} 1. '''Linux:''' see the [[#GPU|GPU]] section below. 1. Run these programs to see if the install worked: {{{#!highlight bash # This will display the exact version you have installed. If you ask for help, provide the full output of this command. e2version.py # Relative speed factor of a single core on your computer, 2-3 typ. e2speedtest.py # Opens a browser window you can use to view any EMAN2 compatible file in various ways e2display.py # Creates a small image with a circle in the middle of it e2proc2d.py :64:64:1 test.hdf --process mask.sharp:outer_radius=24 # Displays the file you just created e2display.py test.hdf }}} <> === Using NVidia GPUs === Currently, GPUs are only used for a few specific programs involving deep learning, such as tomogram annotation, particle picking and GMM variability analysis. This support is limited to Linux, and (potentially with some extra effort) Win 11 with an LSW2 installation. Many machines will have CUDA installed already, and if CUDA is an appropriate version, this should work fine with the !TensorFlow version shipped with EMAN2. However, if you are running newer versions of CUDA there may be problems. You can test compatibility quickly with: {{{ # Make sure you have your environment set to run EMAN2 programs e2version.py # The above command should work and return your current version. If it does, then run: python -c "import tensorflow" }}} If this command does not return an error, then you should be able to run deep learning software within EMAN2. If it does raise an error, then you will need to debug the problem: * If you do not have CUDA installed at all (and you are on a Linux machine with an NVidia GPU): * Installation depends on linux distribution, try your package manager for CUDA and/or CUDA-toolkit, for example, on Ubuntu: {{{ apt-get install nvidia-cuda-toolkit }}} * If the version of CUDA you have installed is incompatible, then you will need to get a compatible tensorflow installed in your conda environment. Here is one possible suggestion: {{{ conda remove tensorflow-gpu tensorflow-gpu-base pip install tensorflow # read any messages carefully, if there are errors you may need other installations }}} If you have problems you cannot figure out, feel free to post questions to the EMAN2 Google Group.
