Why no gui? If you know a lot about installing software, you can do it in any way you like just don't know how would that be useful.

Based off the information I received it sounded like Leginon was a server hosting a web based application.
Most of the documentation refers to interacting through a web browser so I assumed the information was accurate.
So you can better assist let me explain what we are attempting to setup at our institution.
We will have a FEI G2 F20 TEM 200kV with a Direct Electron Detector.
It sounded like the Leginon "server" would provide a web service that client computers would interact with via a web browser.
The information I have is third party and even they didn't have a chance to directly interact with the system, so I'm kind going in blind.
Using the information here:
http://emg.nysbc.org/projects/leginon/wiki/Autoinstaller_for_CentOS
I used a slightly modified centosAutoInstallation.py to install on RedHat 6.7 and made it to step 9 of the install guide.
Where it says:
The Leginon start page may be displayed. If you are not using Leginon, close this window.
A web browser will be launched with the Appion and Leginon tools loaded.
This is where I decided to further read the install guide, leave my first message and confirm the info I have is correct.
Please let me know if you have any questions
Thanks in advance

Leginon has two gui.
The Leginon start page that Autoinstaller instruction describes is the wxPython interface that you use during data collection to ask the scope and camera to set a condition and acquire images. This is served from the processing server we mentioned in the documentation
The web-based interface that is served by the web server part of the leginon's parent packag,e myami, is used to allow remote monitoring of the data acquisition. It only affects the data acquisition in the way that it can abort something that is queued up but not yet reached the front of the queue, yet.
Therefore, the wxPython interface is essential, the web interface is optional but highly recommended for giving users feadback of comparison between current and earlier data collection.
When the instruction says
The Leginon start page may be displayed. If you are not using Leginon, close this window.
It just means that you don't have to do anything in that gui during the installation, and therefore, can close the window. Looking at the current code fo autoinstaller, the Leginon gui is the last thing to do. The web page for the myamiweb setup should appear before that and automatically does the configuration needed to be done from there.
Hope this helps.
