<blockquote>

The most commonly used Leginon applications are included as part of the Leginon download. These XML files are in subdirectory of your Leginon download and installation called "applications". The XML files should be imported either using the web based application import tool. Each application includes "(1.5)" in its name to indicate that it will work with this new version of Leginon. The applications that carry the older version name are compatible with the older Leginon.

To find Leginon installation path on Linux:

 >start-leginon.py -v

On Windows, You should find a shortcut to your Leginon installation folder in the "Start Menu/All Programs/Leginon". If not, it is likely

C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\Leginon\

</blockquote>
