Installing coot on linux is rather more straightforward than on OS X, because most linux systems are based on gnome and/or kde, and tend to have many of the required components already installed.

Most of the other dependencies are also readily available. | ||
===First, [[Install CCP4 on Linux]].=== | === Installation from a binary package === | ||
This is the recommended way for those who do not want to delve into the mysteries of compiling and linking a great but complex piece of software. Read the (somewhat outdated, it seems) [http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/%7Eemsley/coot/coot-faq.html Coot FAQ] to find "Additional Notes" for your operating system. | |||
In short, just go to http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/~emsley/software/binaries/nightlies/pre-release/ and pick a suitable binary, e.g. | |||
coot-0.5-pre-1-revision-1003-binary-Linux-i386-fedora-5.tar.gz for a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 or CentOS-5 system (Fedora 6 corresponds to RHEL5, thus Fedora 5 binaries are OK). | |||
Then un-tar it under /usr/local/src, and establish a symlink (ln -s) between /usr/local/bin/coot and the bin/coot of the freshly unpacked distribution. | |||
If you then run coot, and the loader complains that a certain library is missing, just ask | |||
yum whatprovides <thatlibrary> | |||
and install the library, again using yum (assuming yum is available in your distribution, otherwise use apt or whatever is there for this purpose). | |||
