Download EMAN

Please contact me if you run into a specific problem that's not on the known bugs list . Happy reconstructing.

Downloads are now only available through NCMI's new web site. You will be required to provide your name/institution when you download a new version. This is for grant reporting purposes, to justify continued support for software development. We will not provide your name or personal information to outside entities other than the granting agency. Please help us keep our grant support by providing accurate information.
 

Binary

Note for experienced sysops:
By default, EMAN is installed in your home directory, this way no root privliges are required. If you wish to install EMAN in a central location, either use /usr/local/EMAN, - OR - each user must set the 'EMANDIR' environment variable to point to the main EMAN directory. /usr/local/EMAN will be checked by default. If there are still problems with a central installation, users can try making a symbolic link so EMAN appears to be in their home directory.

Installation:

cd ~
tar xvzf eman.[version].tgz
-or-
zcat eman.[version].tgz | tar xvf -
You will need to make 2 modifications to your .cshrc (or .tcshrc, .profile or .zshrc depending on the shell you use). You need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include $HOME/EMAN/lib and your executable path to include $HOME/EMAN/bin. For example (csh):
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $HOME/EMAN/lib
set path = (. $HOME/EMAN/bin $HOME/bin /bin etc.)

Important note:
Since EMAN requires several external libraries (QT, FFTW, GSL and libtiff), we have included these libraries as binaries for sites that do not have them already. In many cases some or all of these libraries will already be installed. These 'extra' libraries are in 'EMAN/altlib'. If you run an EMAN program and it complains about not being able to find a particular library, simply move the appropriate library from 'EMAN/altlib' to 'EMAN/lib' with the 'mv' command. If you DON'T receive and error about a particular library, DO NOT move it to EMAN/lib, becuase it may improperly supercede a library you already have installed. If you still have problems, just email sludtke@bcm.tmc.edu.


Source

With version 1.21 (43), EMAN should be much easier to compile. EMAN now uses the standard GNU 'configure' package to make compilation much easier for most platforms. You will also need to have the following installed:
FFTW
GSL (for a few programs)
QT 2.X
qscilib (distributed with EMAN source)

Some of these are available for download under the 'required libraries' section of the EMAN download.

Here is the installation guide .

EMAN has been verified to compile on SGIs, Mandrake Linux 8.2, Redhat Linux 7.2, and for the first time, under Windows using Cygwin. We are also working on an OSX version. It may compile and run on Alphas, but due to some hardware restrictions inherent to this platform, we cannot make any guarentees.  Please let us know if you have difficulty compiling EMAN.

Test Data

Here is the data set used in testing the program as described in our first EMAN paper (JSB 1999). It is QUITE large. Don't download it unless you really want it. I will also make the data from our 11.5 A GroEL reconstruction (JMB 2001) available upon request.

BTV.test.tgz  - This is a gzipped tar file, although it may not be obvious from the filespec when it is downloaded.
