EMAN2.1 Workshops, Summer 2014

Hosting at Multiple Sites

We will be using EMAN2.1 beta4, a near final release version of EMAN2.1, for this tutorial. This version is very stable and ready for use, but still has a short list of specific bugfixes to make before the 2.1 final release.

WARNING for ',' countries

There is a known bug in Qt which can cause some issues on machines in countries where the decimal separator is a comma rather than a period. This has been discussed on the mailing list. If you are having difficulties viewing some images in any of the graphical tools, you may need to set these environment variables as a workaround (do not do this unless you experience problems):

• LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
• LC_ALL=en_US.utf8

Downloads

Workshop participants who will be using their own laptop computers should at least install EMAN2 before the workshop. Probably a good idea to preinstall the data as well :

• Download the tutorial

• install EMAN 2.1beta4 (EMAN2.0x will NOT work properly with the new tutorial)

  • After installing, test your installation by running:
    • e2version.py
    • e2speedtest.py
    • e2display.py (with no arguments this will open a browser and you can display any cryo-EM image)
• download the sample data:

  • workshop_14.tgz

• While not absolutely required, having UCSF Chimera installed as well can be useful ( http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/download.html )
