1. Download NMRPipe, including all 5 files.

   http://spin.niddk.nih.gov/NMRPipe/install/

   Reference: F. Delaglio, S. Grzesiek, G. W. Vuister, G. Zhu, J. Pfeifer and A. Bax: NMRPipe: a multidimensional spectral processing system based on UNIX pipes. J. Biomol. NMR. 6, 277-293 (1995).

2. Make an experimental directory and move the files there. This requires either the sudo command or login as the super user.

   $ sudo mkdir /opt/NMRPipe
   

3. To move files into this new directory, go back to the directory you have saved the files and then move the files.

   $ cd ~/Downloads
   
   $ sudo mv NMRPipeX.tZ install.com binval.com talos.tZ dyn.tZ /opt/NMRPipe
   

4. Change permissions, and decompress the following files.

   $ sudo chown -R username:username /opt/NMRPipe
   
   $ cd /opt/NMRPipe
   
   $ tar xvzf NMRPipe.tZ
   
   $ tar xvzf talos.tZ
   
   $ tar xvzf dyn.tZ
   

5. Install the necessary Ubuntu packages.

   $ sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 libx11-6:i386 libxext6:i386
   

6. Install NMRPipe

   $ ./install.com
   

7. Edit your ~/.bashrc file. (This assumes you’re using a bash shell by default)

   $ nano ~/.bashrc
   

   Add the following to your bash shell script:

   export PATH=$PATH:/opt/NMRPipe/nmrbin.linux9/:/opt/NMRPipe/com/:/opt/NMRPipe/nmrtxt/:/opt/NMRPipe/nmrtcl/:/opt/NMRPipe/dynamo/tcl/:/opt/NMRPipe/dynamo/com
   export baseDir=/opt/NMRPipe export NMRBASE=$baseDir
   export NMRTXT=$baseDir/nmrtxt export NMRCOM=$baseDir/nmrcom
   export NMRBIN=$baseDir/nmrbin.linux9
   export NMRCHECK=ALL
   export NMR_CONT=CORRECT_ALL
   export NMR_TCLTK8=TRUE export NMRPIPE_TCL_LIB=/opt/NMRPipe/nmrtcl/tcl8.4
   export TCL_LIBRARY=/opt/NMRPipe/nmrtcl/tcl8.4 export TK_LIBRARY=/opt/NMRPipe/nmrbin.linux9/lib/
   export BLT_LIBRARY=/opt/NMRPipe/nmrtcl/blt2.4z
   export NMRPIPE_TCL_LIB=/opt/NMRPipe/nmrtcl/tcl8.4
   export NMRPIPE_TK_LIB=/opt/NMRPipe/nmrtcl/tk8.4
   export NMRPIPE_BLT_LIB=/opt/NMRPipe/nmrtcl/blt2.4z
   export TCLPATH=/opt/NMRPipe/com
   
   # MFR stuff
   export DYNAMO_KEY=2002084
   export DYNAMO_DIR=$NMRBASE/dynamo
   export DYNAMO_PARAMS=$NMRBASE/dynamo/params
   export SURF_DIR=$NMRBASE/dynamo/surface
   export PDBH_BASE=/opt/mfr
   export PDBH_DIR=$PDBH_BASE/PDBH
   export PDBH_LIST=$PDBH_BASE/pdbH.list
   export PDBH_TAB=$PDBH_DIR/resolution.tab
   export talosDir=/opt/talos
   export SPARTAP_DIR=/opt/NMRPipe/spartaplus/
   export NMRBINTYPE=linux9
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/NMRPipe/nmrbin.linux9/lib/
   

8. Reload your new shell script.

   $ bash
   

Revision Log

• 20160415 - Removed the LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH environment variable from the bashrc file. This variable introduces problems with the proper loading of OpenGL libraries on the system.
• 20150415 - Initial post
