This article has some little script snippets that should ease the installation of XDS and related programs like ([[XDS-viewer]], [[xdsstat]], [[XDSGUI|xdsgui]]). It is assumed that binaries (or links to binaries) should go to /usr/local/bin . This means that you should do this as the administrator (root), or have sudo rights (Mac, and some Linux distros).

I got CCP4 7.1 including coot-0.9.3 to work on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with Xming but not with VcXsrc. Getting the Xserver to work properly requires addition of 3 lines in ~/.bashrc :
I got CCP4 7.1 including coot-0.9.5 to work on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS running under WSL2, with https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ MobaXterm as the Xserver (but not with Xming or VcXsrc). My ~/.bashrc has the line (which the CCP4 installation created):
export DISPLAY=$(grep -m 1 nameserver /etc/resolv.conf | awk '{print $2}'):0.0                                         
# (David Waterman) if the above does not work, use: export DISPLAY=$(ip route|awk '/^default/{print $3}'):0.0                                         
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1                                                                                         
  source /opt/xtal/ccp4-7.1/bin/ccp4.setup-sh  
  source /opt/xtal/ccp4-7.1/bin/ccp4.setup-sh  
and creating a file (replace MYUSERNAME with your Windows username)
and I created a file (replace MYUSERNAME with your Windows username) in the Windows filesystem:
  cd /mnt/c/Users/MYUSERNAME/
  cd /mnt/c/Users/MYUSERNAME/
  echo "[wsl2]" > .wslconfig
  echo "[wsl2]" > .wslconfig
  echo "kernelCommandLine = vsyscall=emulate" >> .wslconfig
  echo "kernelCommandLine = vsyscall=emulate" >> .wslconfig
to make the shelx* programs happy (see https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4694 ), and "vsyscall=emulate" appear in /proc/cmdline. After creating the file, WSL must be restarted with "wsl.exe --shutdown" (or the machine booted).

A few libraries also needed installation (tcsh is needed by CCP4, the others are graphics libraries):
sudo apt install tcsh libqt5opengl5 libqt5printsupport5 libqt5gui5 libxcb-render0 libxcb-shm0 libglu1-mesa
In addition, the Xming Xlaunch needed a box checked that prevents access control; and the Windows firewall needed a rule for port 6000 as shown in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61110603/how-to-set-up-working-x11-forwarding-on-wsl2 .
 
It seems that XLaunch has to be started before the Ubuntu terminal in which I start the graphical application.
 
Performance of coot is good enough for me (100 frames/sec for "Spin view" of a thaumatin molecule, on a Dell XPS13 7390 2-in-1 notebook). XDSGUI and multi-threaded XDS work as expected. For reading .h5 files, the NEGGIA plugin works correctly, but the DURIN plugin currently crashes (a [https://github.com/DiamondLightSource/durin/issues/22 bug] has been reported).
 
Update concerning coot 0.9.5: it crashes for me when using XMing. Other applications, like ccp4i, still work. The error message is:
(set-display-intro-string "Good afternoon ,,,. Welcome to Coot 0.9.5")
(set-display-lists-for-maps 1)
coot-bin: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server 172.17.112.1:0.0.
coot-bin: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server 172.17.112.1:0.0.
. ------ Coot crashed - trying to diagnose -----
ldd -r on guile gives:
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffd4f93000)
        libguile.so.17 => /opt/xtal/ccp4-7.1/libexec/../lib/libguile.so.17 (0x00007f7c5df33000)
        libgmp.so.10 => /opt/xtal/ccp4-7.1/libexec/../lib/libgmp.so.10 (0x00007f7c5dcb2000)
and more lines with library names that exist on the disk.


'''I tried MobaXterm (private edition) and this works better - coot runs!'''
A few libraries also needed installation (tcsh is needed by CCP4, the others are mostly graphics libraries):
sudo apt install tcsh libqt5opengl5 libqt5printsupport5 libqt5gui5 libxcb-render0 libxcb-shm0 libglu1-mesa libgomp1
Performance of coot is good enough for occasional work. XDSGUI and multi-threaded XDS work as expected. For reading .h5 files, the NEGGIA plugin works correctly, but the DURIN plugin currently crashes (a [https://github.com/DiamondLightSource/durin/issues/22 bug] has been reported).
