[[EMEN2]] is dependent on several other packages. With the exception of Python, which is generally up to date and well-packaged on most systems, I recommend downloading the latest version from the project's site and installing it, or using easy_install for the package if possible. (Linux/Mac package management systems often have out of date software.) To run the EMEN2 server, Berkeley DB, bsddb3, and dateutil are required for basic functionality. If you want to run the web server, you will also need Twisted, Markdown, and Mako. Additional server features, such as thumbnails and image analysis, are provided by EMAN2 and ImageMagick.
Line 5: Line 5:
If I have specified a version, it is the minimum version I have tested EMEN2 with. I cannot guarantee success with versions earlier than noted. Please note that we include all the EMEN2 dependencies listed below in the EMAN2 binary distribution. This is the recommended way to install and use EMEN2. See [[EMAN2]] for information about EMAN2.

See [[EMEN2/Install]] for instructions on installing EMEN2 once all dependencies are installed.
