EMAN2.1 Workshops, Summer 2014
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
This is a new tutorial for the 2014 workshops. For the moment you may wish to look at the earlier 2013 Beijing workshop as this page is not yet complete. It should be complete by July 22, 2014.

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 :
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)
- After installing, test your installation by running:
- download the sample data:
While not absolutely required, having UCSF Chimera installed as well can be useful ( http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/download.html )
