h1. What is the Leginon System *Abstract* Leginon system includes the python-side programs that are writen in python and c, the MySQL database and server, and the mainly php-based image and data viewers on a web server. The python-side programs provide a modular framework for building applications for TEM image acquisition and analysis. Nodes can be connected through abstract events in Leginon's modular architecture design. This gives Leginon the flexibility of application customization at multiple levels. Because nodes can be launched from different machines, Leginon's applications can inherently use distributed memory systems. The MySQL-side database and server keep track of all information (metadata) accompanying the acquired images efficiently. The php-side web server and scripts retrieve information from the database and the file storage system to display both raw information and organized reports. NRAMM development includes the python-side and the php-side scripts. MySQL side uses directly the open-source distribution. The website "http://leginon.scripps.edu/":http://leginon.scripps.edu is the central location for leginon information and links. Once registed for leginon download, the users have access to the " bulletin board":http://emg.nysbc.org/bb.viewforum.php?f=2 where users and developers post their questions and answers. Official bug report and feature request should be entered through this website using the "New Issue":http://emg.nysbc.org/projects/leginon/issues/new tab. "bugzilla":http://emg.nysbc.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Leginon . ______ [[Terminology|Terminology >]] ______
