# Check the Run Name and Output Directory.

# Use the radio button to choose initial orientation parameters.  These can be imported from a previously run EMAN reconstruction, or determined by Frealign.

# Set cluster parameters as is appropriate.

# Set specific Frealign parameters.  Use the mouse to point to an individual parameter, and a help-box will float above that option giving the required information for the user to choose the parameters.

# Click "Prepare Frealign" to submit to the cluster.  Alternatively, click "Just Show Command" in order to get a command that can be pasted into a unix shell.  If your job has been submitted to the cluster, a page will appear with a link "Check status of job", which allows tracking of the job via its log-file. This link is also accessible from the "1 running" option under the "Frealign Refinement" submenu in the appion sidebar.

# Use the radio button to choose the prepared frealign job you want to launch.

# Click "Use this prepared job" to proceed to the next step.
