Install EMAN¶

EMAN1 is a fundamental package used in appion for general file conversion and image filtering.

Download latest EMAN1 (not EMAN2) binaries (currently version 1.9):¶

1. Go to the EMAN webpage
2. Click on (download) next to EMAN1
3. Scroll to Download 1.9
4. Click on Download 1.9 link
5. Select the appropriate package
   • we recommend using the cluster version of EMAN1
   • x86 for 32bit and x86_64 for 64bit machines
   • In this case, we would download the "eman-linux-x86_64-cluster-1.9.tar.gz"
6. Go to download directory and unzip the tar file:
   

   tar -zxvf eman-linux-x86_64-cluster-1.9.tar.gz

7. Move the unzipped folder to a global location
   

   sudo mv -v EMAN /usr/local/

8. Run the EMAN installer
   

   cd /usr/local/EMAN/
   ./eman-installer
   

9. For BASH, add eman.bashrc to global /etc/profile.d/ folder
   

   sudo cp -v /usr/local/EMAN/eman.bashrc /etc/profile.d/eman.sh
   sudo chmod 755 /etc/profile.d/eman.sh
   

10. For C shell, you'll have to create your own eman.csh:
    • Add the following lines an eman.csh file:
      

      setenv EMANDIR /usr/local/EMAN
      setenv PATH ${EMANDIR}/bin:${PATH}
      setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${EMANDIR}/lib
      setenv PYTHONPATH ${EMANDIR}/lib
      

    • And then add it to the global /etc/profile.d/ folder
      

      sudo cp -v eman.csh /etc/profile.d/eman.csh
      sudo chmod 755 /etc/profile.d/eman.csh
