supporting package compatibility
Added by Anchi Cheng about 15 years ago
Here is a question asked by Carlos A. Lopez:
Hi, I just wanted to make sure that this installation of packages is
compatible with Leginon-1.6. I'm using the Setup configuration A in page
20 of the Leginon Installation manual. I already finished installing the
processing side server + mysql, php, apache, dbem tools on the Linux
computer; the Windows computer does not have anything installed (besides
some software for the microscope).
python-2.5.4.msi
pywin32-214.zip
wxPython2.8-win32-ansi-2.8.10.1-py25.exe
MySQL-python.exe-1.2.2.win32-py2.5.exe
PIL-1.1.5.win32-py2.5.exe
numarray-1.5.2.win32-py2.5.exe
numpy-1.0.4.win32-py2.5.msi
scipy-0.6.0.win32-py2.5.msi
TortoiseSVN-1.6.5.16974-win32-svn-1.6.5.msi
libCV-0.2.win32-py2.5.exe
NumExtension-1.2.0.win32-py2.5.exe
svnget-1.6.sh
tightvnc-1.3.10-setup.exe
I believe the machine is 32 bit, running on Windows XP.
The multiple versions of the same programs are confusing and I didn't
want to risk messing up the installation since the computer is shared by
multiple labs; I would really appreciate it if you'd please let me know
if there are any missing packages or any conflicts!
Thank you for your help!

I had written something similar but I like Jim's version here. Anchi

Carlos,
Do not worry about messing up the computer with these packages. They will not
have a conflict with existing software provided by FEI. FEI may have
already installed a VNC server on there, but installing TightVNC should not
hurt. If you think it causes a problem, then you can always uninstall it.
VNC is just a convenience if you run Leginon from a remote location, but it
not required.
The versions you suggest should work fine, but we do not test every possible
combination of different packages. Just let us know if you run into any
problems. The only real critical thing is that you are using a 2.5 version
of Python (2.5.4 should be fine). Some of the other packages contain
a specific Python version in their filename, for example:
numarray-1.5.2.win32-py2.5.exe contains "py2.5" in the filename.
This means it will work with Python 2.5.
For most of these packages, it is usually
easiest to just download a recent version from their download page, keeping
in mind the Python 2.5 version as I just mentioned.

Thank you for the help! I just installed the supporting packages yesterday and there seemed to be no problems. On a related note, do the Python versions on the Windows and the Linux machines need to be the same? I just noticed that the Linux machine is version 2.4; the Installation manual said to install 2.4 or newer, whereas the Windows Installation required at least Python version 2.5. I'm worried this might be a problem down the line.
