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. | 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.

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.

[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 | |||

=== 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. | |||
