Install EMAN2/SPARX¶

It is best to install EMAN2/SPARX from source, so that do not have conflicts with having two different versions of python on your system. Binaries of EMAN2/SPARX all come with their own python pre-installed.

This documentation assumes you are using CentOS 6 (written as of CentOS 6.2)

Install require pre-packages for EMAN2 compiling¶

yum based packages¶

• Make sure EPEL is install, if not go here: Download additional Software (CentOS Specific)
• Use yum to install devel libraries:
  

  sudo yum install fftw-devel gsl-devel boost-python numpy \
   PyQt4-devel cmake ipython hdf5-devel libtiff-devel libpng-devel \
   PyOpenGL ftgl-devel db4-devel python-argparse openmpi-devel
  

bsddb3¶

Additionally you need to install the python-bsddb3 library (not available via YUM). I just use the pypi easy_installer, yum will never know.

sudo easy_install bsddb3

pyMPI¶

I think this is a dead module (latest version from 2008), but it is required for some EMAN2/SPARX functions, including sxisac.py

• Download pyMPI from here:
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/pympi/files/pyMPI/2.5%20beta/
• Extract the contents:
  

  tar zxvf pyMPI-2.5b0.tar.gz

• Compile:
  

  cd pyMPI-2.5b0
  export CFLAGS=`python-config --cflags`
  export LDFLAGS=`python-config --ldflags`
  ./configure
  make
  

  
  

  cd pyMPI-2.5b0
  setenv CFLAGS `python-config --cflags`
  setenv LDFLAGS `python-config --ldflags`
  ./configure
  make
  

Download the source¶

1. To download the source code go to the link:
   • http://blake.bcm.edu/emanwiki/EMAN2
2. Click on "Current stable version - direct link"
3. Go under the heading "Source" at bottom of page
4. Click to download the eman-source-2.xx.tar.gz file (as of August 2012, 2.xx is 2.06)

Work with the source¶

1. go to the directory with the source code
2. extract the archive:
   

   tar zxvf eman-source-2.06.tar.gz
   

3. go into directory
   

   cd EMAN2/src/build

4. start configure script:
   

   cmake ../eman2/

   • Note: alternatively you can run ccmake ../eman2/ and configure all the parameters
5. start compiling:
   

   make

6. install to directory:
   

   sudo make install

Set environmental variables¶

bash¶

sudo nano /etc/profile.d/eman2.sh

export EMAN2DIR=/usr/local/EMAN2
export PATH=${EMAN2DIR}/bin:${PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${EMAN2DIR}/lib
export PYTHONPATH=${EMAN2DIR}/lib:${EMAN2DIR}/bin

Test to see if code works¶

see http://blake.bcm.edu/emanwiki/EMAN2/FAQ/EMAN2_unittest

cd EMAN2/test/rt
./rt.py
