SHELXC, SHELXD and SHELXE are stand-alone executables that do not require environment variables or parameter files etc., so all that is needed to install them is to put them in a directory that is in the ‘path’ (e.g. /usr/local/bin or ~/bin under Linux). There is a detailed description of these programs in the paper: <i>"Experimental phasing with SHELXC/D/E: combining chain tracing with density modification"</i>. Sheldrick, G.M. (2010). <i>Acta Cryst.</i> <b>D66</b>, 479-485.

MPE and wMPE are given as two numbers, the one after the '/' is for centric reflections only. | |||
The first nine numbers in the row after locating a strand or in the 'Global chain diagnostics' are the percentages of CA within 0-0.1, 0.1-0.2, 0.2-0.3Å etc from the nearest CA in the reference structure. The tenth number is the percentage further than 0.9Å from the nearest CA. | |||
The next number is 100 times the number of CA found divided by the number expected for the whole structure. The last number is the mean distance of a CA atom from the nearest CA in the reference structure, whereby distances greater than 2.5Å are replaced by 2.5. One should always look at the second number from the right; for a good trace it should be as low as possible. If you are expanding from a MR solution the program also tells you the percentages of starting atoms retained. | |||

after the last of these. The -n option is not needed then. The output of SHELXE should tell you about the fact that it understood the NCS specification. | |||
