Configure leginon.cfg

For older versions of Appion and Leginon (pre-2.2), please use the following instructions:
Instructions for Appion and Leginon versions prior to 2.2

The order in which Leginon/Appion looks for leginon.cfg

  1. individual user home directory
  2. $PYTHONSITEPKG/leginon
     
    Note: You can discover the $PYTHONSITEPKG path by starting python:
    python
    import sys
    sys.path
    

    The first path to site-packages should hold the config file.
  3. /etc/myami

configuration file template

A skeleton (default) configuration file is available:

$PYTHONSITEPKG/leginon/config/default.cfg

where $PYTHONSITEPKG is your python site-packages directory

Create a global leginon.cfg

Copy default.cfg to leginon.cfg.

sudo cp -v $PYTHONSITEPKG/leginon/config/default.cfg $PYTHONSITEPKG/leginon/config/leginon.cfg

Edit the newly created file and add a directory for images. Make sure you have permission to save files at this location. See File Server Setup Considerations for more details

You may put in a fake path on the microscope PC installation and ignore the error message at the start of Leginon if you follow our general rule of not saving any image directly from the microscope pc,

[Images]
path: your_storage_disk_path/leginon
