h1. What is in this Chapter 




 Leginon runs under both the Linux and Microsoft Windows Operating systems. However, the 
 current php-mrctool can not be installed on Windows which means mrc images can not be viewed 
 on the web. See the section on Possible Computer Set-up Configurations for details. 


 The many components for the Leginon system are divided into packages and need to be 
 installed separately. It has been integrated with several third party software packages that 
 are necessary for its operation. The installation documentation will describe how to set-up 
 Leginon and give hints as to how to install and set-up the necessary third-party software. 
 This documentation is not intended to support the additional, but necessary third-party 
 software. 


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


 See <link linkend="InstT_install">Installation Troubleshooting</link> and    "Leginon Bulletin Board":http://emg.nysbc.org/bb/viewforum.php?f=2    searching 
 for "install" if you run into problems.
