| 6 | Leginon runs under both the Linux and Microsoft Windows Operating systems. However, the |
||
| 7 | current php-mrctool can not be installed on Windows which means mrc images can not be viewed |
||
| 8 | on the web. See the section on Possible Computer Set-up Configurations for details. |
||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | The many components for the Leginon system are divided into packages and need to be |
||
| 12 | installed separately. It has been integrated with several third party software packages that |
||
| 13 | are necessary for its operation. The installation documentation will describe how to set-up |
||
| 14 | Leginon and give hints as to how to install and set-up the necessary third-party software. |
||
| 15 | This documentation is not intended to support the additional, but necessary third-party |
||
| 16 | software. |
||

| 18 | |||
| 19 | There has been interest in installing Leginon under Mac OS X. While this is possible in |
||
| 20 | theory, we have not been successful in installing a fully functional system. The two main |
||
| 21 | problems are (1) compilation of php-mrctool from the pre-installed php and (2) wxPython on Mac |
||
| 22 | is unable to hide bitmap objects which makes Leginon graphical user interface difficult to |
||
| 23 | use. |

||
| 27 | for "install" if you run into problems. |
