CCP4 Download

Here you can download the latest version of the CCP4 Software Suite, version 7.1, code name Skipton. See the announcement for further information. See also the installation instructions and known issues.

Binary downloads for Apple macOS

On the Mac, CCP4 Software Suite may be conveniently configured, downloaded and automatically installed with Package Manager (recommended)

ATTENTION:
• Screen Time (macOS Catalina or newer) was found to block installation and updates of CCP4 in a not obvious way. Therefore, we recommend switching it off completely during the CCP4 installation and updates.
• You will need to have X11 installed on your Mac in order to run CCP4.

Alternatively, the suite may be downloaded and installed in separate parts. ARP/wARP requires a separate licence from EMBL-Hamburg, so you will first be redirected to their website.

ATTENTION:
• Remove extended attributes from the downloaded *.tar.gz file before unpacking it, otherwise the app icons will not be functional. For example: xattr -c ccp4-7.1.010-macosx64.tar.gz
• Run setup script after unpacking the *.tar.gz file. For example: sudo /Applications/ccp4-7.1/BINARY.setup

Binary downloads for MS Windows

The binary packages for Microsoft Windows are available below. These include SHELX and WinCoot (version 0.9.6.1.1) as optional components. If you are planning to install SHELX, please register and confirm your agreement to conditions of use at the SHELX web site. Note that the conditions are different for academic and for-profit users.

Issues have previously been reported when using CCP4 software, while having Avast AV running on Windows systems. We therefore recommend using the default Windows Defender software as an alternative when installing or using CCP4 software.

An interactive graphical application for macromolecular model building, model completion and validation, particularly suitable for protein modelling using X-ray data. Coot displays maps and models and allows model manipulations such as idealization, real-space refinement, manual rotation/translation, rigid-body fitting, ligand search, solvation, mutations, rotamers, Ramachandran plots, skeletonization, non-crystallographic symmetry and more.$

To try the latest version of the CCP4 Suite while still keeping the previous one, unpack the installer using 7z and run ccp4i2.bat or ccp4i.bat.

On Windows 10, it is also possible to install CCP4 on the Subsystem for Linux (experimental).

Let us know if anything does not work as expected.

Windows 10 WSL-1 : Installation for CCP4 Testing

Current for 25th January 2021 – NB. this is all quite experimental at the moment!

Jump to downloads

Installation of WSL-1 is straightforward but will require a manual installation since it is not included with the standard Windows 10 updates. Note that Windows WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) is still under development and is considered in Beta by Microsoft so installation does come with caveats. Kay Dederichs has also investigated using WSL-2 with CCP4, and has managed to get CCP4 working on it. His notes on this can be found here.

I installed WSL-1 using the manual install instructions & didn’t encounter any show-stopping issues (see notes below). If you follow the instructions shown on the web page below (for manual installs) & then setup the display for graphical programs you should end up with WSL-1 in a functional state (see further on) :-

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10

V1 of WSL was chosen, as hyper-threading capability is needed for the more recent v2. At the time of writing hyperthreading was not possible on Oracle VM. If you are using an actual Windows partition it should be fine to use WSL-2 (instructions also available on the webpage). When picking the flavour of Linux to use, I would recommend Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (if available).

Firefox is broken on the Linux Install, and the google browser installs but doesn’t work. The default WSL browser works fine though.

Also note I encountered problems when copying things to & from the Windows partition in WSL-1 (lost permission settings & was unable to chmod them back). If you stick to just working with the Linux variant of Edge & downloading to the Linux partition it all works ok.

CCP4 Installation

CCP4 Installed fine (mostly, but with certain provisos) using the standard Linux version of the CCP4 installer (choose the GNU/Linux tab above). Some additional work is needed though. :-

To get aimless working, install the following from a WSL terminal,

sudo apt-get install libgomp1

All the other command-line programs I tried worked (this doesn’t cover every single binary though).

The installer may run slower than it usually does, but it does work – please don’t interrupt it if it’s taking a few minutes longer than usual.

*IMPORTANT* For graphical programs, you will need to setup the display & x11 correctly :-

echo "export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0" >> ~/.bashrc

source ~/.bashrc

and you will also need to setup x11 for graphical stuff (& have it running).

install VcXsrv

https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/

In order to get coot running (I suspect libglu is the one that matters, but it doesn’t harm to have all of them) install,

sudo apt-get install guile-2.2-libs

sudo apt-get install guile-2.2-dev

sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa

To run jligand (still doesn't work fully though)

sudo apt-get install default-jre

Google Chrome doesn't work in WSL-1 but for information purposes this is how to get it anyway :-

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

sudo apt-get install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

google-chrome

google-chrome-stable

To get CCP4Cloud running (wslview is the default WSL browser – the first command is just to test it’s working ok!) :-

wslview https://www.bbc.co.uk

ccp4cloud-config.sh -b wslview

ccp4cloud-config.sh

ccp4cloud-desktop.sh

If you try this, & wish to ask anything, you can e-mail us at :- ccp4@stfc.ac.uk
