NCMI Workshop on Single Particle Reconstruction, Structural Variability and Modeling

Oct 30 - Nov 2, 2015

It is critical that all participants in the tutorials have all required software installed and tested before they leave for the workshop. This is why we are giving you instructions 2 weeks in advance. We are happy to assist people via email in advance of the workshop. At the workshop itself, if you try and install the software during the session, you will almost certainly not keep up with the tutorials. While there will be network access at the site, with 180 people sharing a WiFi connection, you will have limited available bandwidth for downloads, etc. Please come prepared, so we can all have a good experience!

Please insure that you have the following software packages installed:

• EMAN/SPARX 2.12 (or snapshot version released after Oct. 16, 2015) - Required for all Day 1 and some Day 2 tutorials

• Chimera 1.10 or newer - For 3-D visualization of maps/models

• For Segmentation and Modeling at Medium Resolutions on Day 4

• Chimera Daily Build Oct. 17 or later (Segger v1.9.2)

• Gorgon ...

• Phenix - Used on day 4 to refine models

• Relion 1.4 (optional) - The Relion session will largely be a demo, if you wish to have it installed to experiment during the workshop you may

• OpenMPI and PyDusa (special version) - This will only be required for some optional SPARX demos
