The binaries with "x86_64" binaries are for 64bit systems; the "i386" binaries are for 32bit systems. Since my notebook is 64bits ("uname -a" reports "x86_64" more than once), I download ftp://turn5.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/coot/software/binaries/nightlies/pre-release/coot-0.7-pre-1-revision-3999-binary-Linux-x86_64-centos-5-python-gtk2.tar.gz (the main server is slow, so I use the mirror). As root, I "cd /usr/local/src" and un-tar. Next, have to find out which libraries are missing. This can be achieved by (''note the use of LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the second command - do not permanently modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH !''):

=== Installation on Debian/Ubuntu from debian archive files ===
As an alternative, you might wish to exploit the debain dpkg/apt/synaptic package management system on Ubuntu and other Debian linux distributions using (unofficial)
[http://diablo.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/debian/coot_hardy/  pre-compiled debian packages for coot and its dependencies]. (These will be discontinued when official packages become available.)
To do so, simply download the deb files and install with the command
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
dpkg will complain if a dependency is missing rather than install a broken program.
=== Packages for Ubuntu ===
A pre-packaged version of Coot (0.7-pre-1) for Ubuntu is available from mok0's Personal Package Archive (PPA) on Launchpad. Currently, packages for Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) and 10.10 (Maverick) are available.
To install the coot package on your system, you first need to install the public key for mok0's PPA:
  sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 1DC81A57
Next, add the PPA repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mok0/ppa
That's it! Now, you should be able to:
  apt-get update && apt-get install coot
This version of Coot only supports the Python scripting language.
=== Mandriva Installation ===
To install the coot on Mandriva 2010.0 use the ubuntu distribution:
tar zxf coot-0.6.2-binary-Linux-i686-ubuntu-8.04.1-python-gtk2.tar.gz
in the .cshrc file:
alias coot  'source /prog/CCP4/ccp4-6.1.13/include/ccp4.setup-csh ; /prog/coot-Linux-i686-ubuntu-8.04.1-gtk2-python/bin/coot'
=== Converting to rpm packages ===
You can convert any debian package file into an rpm file using the program ''alien''.  I have done this and have made the [http://diablo.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/debian/rpm/coot/ resulting packages] available.

== Molprobity not active in COOT ==
Q: I am using COOT 0.8.1 EL that comes with the CCP4 6.5.010 on my Mac OS X 10.10.2. I wanted to run molprobity but the Validate > Probe clashes button in my pull down menu is not active. Is this function available in this COOT version?
A: Reduce and probe are separate programs available from the Richardson’s lab at Duke http://kinemage.biochem.duke.edu/. Download and install on your box. Then coot needs to be told in some instances where it can find these executables. I have the following lines in my ~/.coot file in Linux.
<pre>
;; .coot
;; This file is required. As of coot 0.8pre no other mechanism for
;; enabling probe in coot works
;;
;; This is full pathname of molprobity's probe program
(define *probe-command* "/apps/xray/bin/probe")
;; This is full pathname of molprobity's reduce program
(define *reduce-command* "/apps/xray/bin/reduce")
</pre>
Untried: if you have Phenix installed: it comes with phenix.probe and phenix.reduce - you could insert the paths to these binaries into the above definitions.
== some symmetry mates not shown ==
Q: This structure has been solved and refined using phenix in the hexagonal setting of space group R 3. There is one copy per asymmetric unit in R 3. As you can see from the attached image, coot is rendering some but not all of the symmetry mates.
A: Turn up the radius a bit and use (set-symmetry-shift-search-size 3) . I would have thought that 2 is big enough, but maybe not in this case.
