Install SPIDER¶

Download SPIDER binary from wadsworth.org (250 MiB)¶

Most of our SPIDER scripts were originally designed around SPIDER v14 and v15, but we are diligently working toward compatibility with SPIDER v18. That said you are probably best off using the newest version of SPIDER (v18.10 as of May 2010) and then reporting any bugs to us.

Extract the archive¶

tar -zxvf spiderweb.18.10.tar.gz

The archive will create 3 folders: spider, spire, and web. At this time only the spider program is used within Appion, you can safely ignore web and spire.

Set enivromental variables¶

For BASH, create an eman.sh and add the following lines:¶

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

For C shell, create an eman.csh and add the following lines:¶

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.sh /etc/profile.d/eman.sh
sudo chmod 755 /etc/profile.d/eman.sh

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