'''Most users, even 'advanced' users should select a binary install.''' If the binaries don't work for you for some reason (please [[mailto:sludtke@bcm.edu|let us know]], or if you need to write new low-level image processing functions, then you can resort to a source-based installation.)
= Installing EMAN2 =
The new EMAN2.2 binaries for recent OS versions are more heavily optimized than previous releases (and less backwards compatible). Still, it may be possible to achieve a 10-20% additional speedup if you setup GCC6 and compile with optimize-machine on a recent Linux version. Compiling from source on Linux is much easier than the other platforms. For Mac and Windows users, we strongly suggest using a binary.
Line 6: Line 6:
EMAN2 uses an increasingly popular approach of writing all of the main computationally intensive image processing operations in C++, but writing all of the user programs, including those with GUIs (graphical user interfaces) in a scripting language called [[http://www.python.org|Python]]. All of these Python level programs can be edited by the end-user WITHOUT requiring a C++ development environment. Note that most users won't want or need even this level of customization.

Installing EMAN2

The new EMAN2.2 binaries for recent OS versions are more heavily optimized than previous releases (and less backwards compatible). Still, it may be possible to achieve a 10-20% additional speedup if you setup GCC6 and compile with optimize-machine on a recent Linux version. Compiling from source on Linux is much easier than the other platforms. For Mac and Windows users, we strongly suggest using a binary.
