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).

You may repeat this every now and then to update the programs.
Please note that to get the <code>strings</code> command, which is used by [[generate_XDS.INP]], on some Linux distributions (e.g. FC23) you need to install the <code>binutils</code> RPM package.
 
As root, the script copies the programs into /usr/local/bin/linux_bin, and links them to /usr/local/bin. As a normal user, they are downloaded to $HOME/bin/linux_bin, and linked to your $HOME/bin. In the latter case, make sure that $HOME/bin is in your $PATH.
 
The Qt5 graphics library is now the default for xdsgui and xds-viewer. Qt4 versions are available as xdsgui.qt4 and xds-viewer.qt4, for old Linux distributions (and for use with x2goclient, which would otherwise need [https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:glx-xlib-workaround special action] for Qt5 binaries).

Ubuntu 14 users: please read http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/xdswiki/index.php/XDSGUI#Installation if you have a problem with missing libmng2.
 
For RedHat-type distributions, that would typically be e.g.

It is useful to install xxdiff or one of its alternatives (see below). The package is likely available for your distribution - google for it, or try e.g.
If in the case of Ubuntu you don't know the name of the package that provides a certain library, the
  sudo apt-file search <name-of-library>
command should find it for you (where <code><name-of-library></code> could e.g. be <code>libGLU.so.1</code>). This needs a one-time installation by
  sudo apt install apt-file
  sudo apt-file update
 
Ubuntu 18.04: if libQtOpenGL.so.4 is missing, use <code>sudo apt install libqt4-opengl</code>.
 
Ubuntu 20.04: if libQtOpenGL.so.4 is missing (for the Qt4 binary of [[XDSGUI]]), use
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:rock-core/qt4
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libqt4-opengl
If the Qt5 libraries are missing, use <code>sudo apt install libqt5gui5 libqt5printsupport5 libqt5opengl5</code>.
 
On CentOS7, this would be <code>yum -y install qt5-qtbase-gui qt5-qtbase</code> .
 
<code>xxdiff</code> is likely available for your distribution - google for it, or try e.g.
  yum -y install xxdiff
  yum -y install xxdiff

on Ubuntu. If Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't find it, use the latest from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xxdiff/


On Centos7 (RHEL7, SL7) I went to http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=xxdiff and found that the Fedora 20 RPM can be installed using
An <code>xxdiff</code> binary that runs on CentOS7 (RHEL7, SL7) is provided by the <code>get_folder.sh</code> script.
yum install ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/releases/20/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/x/xxdiff-3.2-20.fc20.x86_64.rpm
Perhaps xxdiff will be available on EPEL some day - maybe it is available on RPMforge; I didn't check.


Alternatively, tkdiff may be installed, or other graphical comparison programs, like meld or kdiff3. vimdiff is also nice, and probably already installed.

== Mac (Intel) ==
For [[Eiger]] data processing, a h5dump binary (version 1.10 req'd for HDF5 data from DLS) and <code>H5ToXDS</code> is installed by the <code>get_folder.sh</code> script into /usr/local/bin. If the script is not used, <code>H5ToXDS</code> should be installed as [[Eiger|explained]], and <code>h5dump</code> should be installed by e.g. <code>yum -y install hdf5</code> (Ubuntu: <code>apt install hdf5-tools</code>) - but make sure that h5dump is version 1.10 or higher when processing HDF5 data from DLS. 


Attention: [[generate_XDS.INP]] requires [https://developer.apple.com/xcode/ Xcode] to be installed. Xcode is not installed by default, but can be downloaded free of charge from the Mac App Store. After installing Xcode, open \u201cPreferences\u201d, select the \u201cDownloads\u201d tab, and click the \u201cInstall\u201d next to \u201cCommand Line Tools\u201d. You also have to explicitly agree to the License terms when running a Command Line Tool for the first time.
Furthermore, you want the [https://www.dectris.com/company/news/newsroom/news-details/process-eiger-data-with-xds-fast Neggia] library (does not work for HDF5 data from DLS) or the [https://github.com/DiamondLightSource/durin Durin plugin]. These may be installed through the <code>get_folder.sh</code> script, in <code>/usr/local/lib64</code>.


I'm not sure if Xcode can be installed without administrator privileges; you may also wish to look at http://guide.macports.org/#installing.xcode .

A message like "Note: The following floating-point exceptions are signalling: IEEE_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO IEEE_UNDERFLOW_FLAG" may be printed after running XDS or XSCALE. This is harmless.
 
=== Prerequisites (Xcode, CCP4) for [[generate_XDS.INP]], [[XDSGUI]] and other programs ===
[[generate_XDS.INP]] requires the [https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ Xcode command line tools] to be installed (free of charge): open a Terminal window, and enter <code>sudo xcode-select --install</code> (the download has a size of about 750MB; the downloader is much too pessimistic about the time it takes).
 
Although CCP4 is not required by XDS itself, some of the programs (XDSSTAT, and MTZ file creation in XDSCONV, POINTLESS and COOT) use CCP4 tools or libraries. Therefore, CCP4 should be installed. Open a Terminal and check the existence of the file .zprofile , and its content:<pre>
kay@Kays-MacBook-Air-2018 ~ % ls -l .zprofile
-rw-r--r--  1 kay  staff  107  7 Mär 09:41 .zprofile
kay@Kays-MacBook-Air-2018 ~ % cat .zprofile
source $HOME/.profile
# Added by CCP4 package manager:
. '/Applications/ccp4-7.1/bin/ccp4.setup-sh'
</pre>If the file does not exist, create it - the easiest way is:
<pre>
<pre>
cd $HOME/bin
echo . /Applications/ccp4-7.1/bin/ccp4.setup-sh >> $HOME/.zprofile
curl -L -o xdsstat.bz2 ftp://turn5.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/pub/xdsstat-i386-mac.bz2
</pre>The <code>get_folder.sh</code> script (below) checks the CCP4 setup, and creates the necessary files if needed.
bunzip2 -f xdsstat.bz2
chmod a+x xdsstat
</pre>
'''To install [[XDSGUI]]''', please download from ftp://turn5.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/pub/xdsgui.dmg, open up the downloaded xdsgui.app by clicking, and then (once you see it in the Finder), go to the Terminal and
cp -pr /Volumes/xdsgui/xdsgui.app/ $HOME/Applications
ln -s $HOME/Applications/xdsgui.app/Contents/MacOS/xdsgui $HOME/bin/xdsgui
Please also check [[XDSGUI#Installation]].


It is useful to install xxdiff from http://furius.ca/downloads/xxdiff/releases/macosx/xxdiff-4.0b1.osx.dmg . After downloading, open up the downloaded xxdiff.app by clicking, and then (once you see it in the Finder), go to the Terminal and
Only Terminal windows that are opened afterwards will have access to the CCP4 programs!
cp -pr /Volumes/xxdiff/xxdiff.app/ $HOME/Applications
ln -s $HOME/Applications/xxdiff.app/Contents/MacOS/xxdiff $HOME/bin/xxdiff


(the names of the files may not be entirely correct in these two lines)
Become familiar with the concept and ways to run commands as "root" - google "mac osx become root". All the installation tasks that are run in a Terminal window require root privileges, since some of the programs and their links are written to /usr/local/bin. (As an alternative that does not require root for installation, one may create a directory $HOME/bin and use that for the programs and links. That would also require modification of the $PATH, by a one-time <code>echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin' >> ~/.profile; echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin' >> ~/.zprofile</code>)


=== system-wide installation (requires root permission) ===
So, prepare the following steps by opening the Terminal window, and then
sudo su              # this will make you root, and ask for your password
mkdir /usr/local/bin  # only if /usr/local/bin was not created before


To get [[generate_XDS.INP]]:

mkdir -p /usr/local/bin/mac_bin
  sudo chmod +x generate_XDS.INP
cd /usr/local/bin/mac_bin
</pre>
curl -O -R https://{{SERVERNAME}}/pub/mac_bin/get_folder.sh
  chmod +x get_folder.sh
./get_folder.sh
If you want to update the programs some time later, just run these commands again.


To get [[XDS]]:
In order to enable [[Eiger]] data processing, the <code>get_folder.sh</code> script

== Windows ==
== Windows ==


The programs of the [[XDS]] package as well as [[XDSGUI]], [[XDSSTAT]], [[XDSCC12]] and so on may be run on 64bit Windows 10 within the [https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/wsl/install-win10 Linux Subsystem for Windows] (WSL, or preferably WSL2). This (easily!) installs e.g. an [https://ubuntu.com/wsl Ubuntu] environment, which supports the apt package manager, so in principle any software available for Ubuntu may be installed (or other distros, see [https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2017/05/11/new-distros-coming-to-bashwsl-via-windows-store/]).
A lot of technical detail is at [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/compare-versions] .
CCP4 documents use of WSL-1 ; see info at http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/download/#os=wsl .
Graphical Linux programs require installation of a X server like [https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/files/latest/download Xming] or [https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv VcXsvr] or [https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ Mobaxterm] on the Windows host. There are helpful writeups (e.g. [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WSL#Running_Graphical_Applications] and [http://wsl-guide.org/en/latest/]). VcXsrc seems to have a problem with coot for some people (see [https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa-jisc.exe?A2=COOT;6ef4a967.2011 WSL2 installation] and responses). To use the X server with WSL, one has to say in the shell window
export DISPLAY=:0
before running the program. Running [[XDSGUI]] under WSL's Ubuntu 20.04 may require installation of a few packages with e.g.
sudo apt-get install libgomp1 libqtgui4 binutils
(see [[XDSGUI#Libraries_and_software_that_the_program_depends_on|XDSGUI]] and above). If required, also install python and hdf5-tools.
XDSSTAT and the conversion to MTZ files by XDSCONV require a CCP4 installation accessible by WSL. In principle, CCP4 may be installed within WSL (have not tested this), or on the Windows host.

A detailed [https://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/pub/xds%20%20prog%20installation%20in%20WSL%20(Lata%20Panicker).pdf writeup for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS] was provided by Dr Lata Panicker, SO(G), BARC, India.
Update September 2021: With the current version of Windows 10 and WSL, the Qt5 binary of XDSGUI does not seem to allow editing in the XDS.INP tab. If this happens, either use an external editor or use xdsgui.qt4. In the latter case, you may have to install Qt4 libraries.
=== WSL2 ===
CCP4 7.1 including coot-0.9.5 works in a Ubuntu 20.04 LTS machine under WSL2 on Windows 10 version 20H2, and newer.
[https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/wsl/install-win10 After installation of WSL2], I installed [https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ MobaXterm] as the Xserver. When the Windows firewall asked whether it should allow MobaXterm communication, I answered "yes" for both private and public networks.
If you want to install CCP4 as a regular user, you need (as this is Linux! And replace MYWSLNAME with your WSL user name):
sudo mkdir /opt/xtal
sudo chown MYWSLNAME /opt/xtal
A few libraries are needed before CCP4 installation (tcsh is needed by CCP4; most of the others are graphics libraries; binutils provides <code>strings</code>):
sudo apt install tcsh libqt5opengl5 libqt5printsupport5 libqt5gui5 libxcb-render0 libxcb-shm0 libglu1-mesa libgomp1 binutils
When installing CCP4, let it "modify command line environment" for you (on one of the very first screens of the installation GUI). If you forgot this, insert a line into your ~/.bashrc :
source /opt/xtal/ccp4-7.1/bin/ccp4.setup-sh
afterwards (this is not WSL specific, but is just Linux). I created a file in the Windows filesystem (replace MYUSERNAME with your Windows user name):
cd /mnt/c/Users/MYUSERNAME/
echo "[wsl2]" > .wslconfig
echo "kernelCommandLine = vsyscall=emulate" >> .wslconfig
to make the shelx* programs work (see https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4694 ), and to make "vsyscall=emulate" appear in /proc/cmdline. After creating the file, WSL2 must be restarted with "wsl.exe --shutdown" (or the machine booted).
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).

[[Cluster Installation]]

Revision as of 22:47, 17 June 2022






This article has some little script snippets that should ease the installation of XDS and related programs like (XDS-viewer, xdsstat, 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).


Linux

Log in as root - we need write permission for /usr/local/bin .

XDS package

If you are an academic user, as root (on Ubuntu, use "sudo -i" to become root)

 cd /usr/local/bin
 wget -O- https://xds.mr.mpg.de/XDS-INTEL64_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz | tar xzvf -
 ln -sf XDS-INTEL64_Linux_x86_64/* .

In case the above website is unavailable, there is a backup site.

other programs: XDS-Viewer, XDSSTAT, XDSCC12, XDSGUI, XSCALE_ISOCLUSTER, spot2pdb, generate_XDS.INP

... can be downloaded from https://wiki.uni-konstanz.de/pub/linux_bin/ . A simple way to obtain them is to create an empty folder, "cd" to that folder and then

wget -N https://wiki.uni-konstanz.de/pub/linux_bin/get_folder.sh
chmod +x get_folder.sh
./get_folder.sh

You may repeat this every now and then to update the programs.

As root, the script copies the programs into /usr/local/bin/linux_bin, and links them to /usr/local/bin. As a normal user, they are downloaded to $HOME/bin/linux_bin, and linked to your $HOME/bin. In the latter case, make sure that $HOME/bin is in your $PATH.

The Qt5 graphics library is now the default for xdsgui and xds-viewer. Qt4 versions are available as xdsgui.qt4 and xds-viewer.qt4, for old Linux distributions (and for use with x2goclient, which would otherwise need special action for Qt5 binaries).

tools and helper programs for generate_XDS.INP and XDSGUI, and libraries

Since XDSGUI depends on graphics packages that may need to be installed, you can check the xdsgui binary with

ldd `which xdsgui` | grep found

and that should show you the libraries it it didn't find. Your friendly system administrator will then work out the specific commands to install those libraries.

For RedHat-type distributions, that would typically be e.g.

yum provides libXfixes.so.3

the output of which will tell you that this is in the libXfixes RPM.

If in the case of Ubuntu you don't know the name of the package that provides a certain library, the

 sudo apt-file search <name-of-library> 

command should find it for you (where <name-of-library> could e.g. be libGLU.so.1). This needs a one-time installation by

 sudo apt install apt-file
 sudo apt-file update

Ubuntu 18.04: if libQtOpenGL.so.4 is missing, use sudo apt install libqt4-opengl.

Ubuntu 20.04: if libQtOpenGL.so.4 is missing (for the Qt4 binary of XDSGUI), use

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:rock-core/qt4
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libqt4-opengl

If the Qt5 libraries are missing, use sudo apt install libqt5gui5 libqt5printsupport5 libqt5opengl5.

On CentOS7, this would be yum -y install qt5-qtbase-gui qt5-qtbase .

xxdiff is likely available for your distribution - google for it, or try e.g.

yum -y install xxdiff

on RHEL6/CentOS6/SL6 systems, or

apt install xxdiff

on Ubuntu. If Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't find it, use the latest from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xxdiff/

An xxdiff binary that runs on CentOS7 (RHEL7, SL7) is provided by the get_folder.sh script.

Alternatively, tkdiff may be installed, or other graphical comparison programs, like meld or kdiff3. vimdiff is also nice, and probably already installed.

For Eiger data processing, a h5dump binary (version 1.10 req'd for HDF5 data from DLS) and H5ToXDS is installed by the get_folder.sh script into /usr/local/bin. If the script is not used, H5ToXDS should be installed as explained, and h5dump should be installed by e.g. yum -y install hdf5 (Ubuntu: apt install hdf5-tools) - but make sure that h5dump is version 1.10 or higher when processing HDF5 data from DLS.

Furthermore, you want the Neggia library (does not work for HDF5 data from DLS) or the Durin plugin. These may be installed through the get_folder.sh script, in /usr/local/lib64.

macOS

XDS package

If you are an academic user,

echo you may have to "sudo su" first, to obtain administrator permissions!
cd /usr/local/bin
curl -L -o - https://xds.mr.mpg.de/XDS-OSX_64.tar.gz | tar xzvf -
ln -sf XDS-OSX_64/* .

Starting with macOS Catalina, you may also need

xattr -dr XDS-OSX_64/*

if you get a security error popup (google "xattr com.apple.quarantine catalina").

Then make sure that the binaries are in the search path for executables, as explained in https://xds.mr.mpg.de/html_doc/downloading.html .

considerations for a macOS machine with Apple M1 processor

Change the above curl and ln commands to

curl -L -o - https://xds.mr.mpg.de/XDS-Apple_M1.tar.gz | tar xzvf -
ln -sf XDS-Apple_M1/* .

If you want to process .h5 files written by Eiger detectors, use the Durin plugin for Apple ARM64 processors (source code).

A message like "Note: The following floating-point exceptions are signalling: IEEE_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO IEEE_UNDERFLOW_FLAG" may be printed after running XDS or XSCALE. This is harmless.

Prerequisites (Xcode, CCP4) for generate_XDS.INP, XDSGUI and other programs

generate_XDS.INP requires the Xcode command line tools to be installed (free of charge): open a Terminal window, and enter sudo xcode-select --install (the download has a size of about 750MB; the downloader is much too pessimistic about the time it takes).

Although CCP4 is not required by XDS itself, some of the programs (XDSSTAT, and MTZ file creation in XDSCONV, POINTLESS and COOT) use CCP4 tools or libraries. Therefore, CCP4 should be installed. Open a Terminal and check the existence of the file .zprofile , and its content:

kay@Kays-MacBook-Air-2018 ~ % ls -l .zprofile
-rw-r--r--  1 kay   staff  107  7 Mär 09:41 .zprofile
kay@Kays-MacBook-Air-2018 ~ % cat .zprofile
source $HOME/.profile
# Added by CCP4 package manager:
. '/Applications/ccp4-7.1/bin/ccp4.setup-sh'

If the file does not exist, create it - the easiest way is:

echo . /Applications/ccp4-7.1/bin/ccp4.setup-sh >> $HOME/.zprofile

The get_folder.sh script (below) checks the CCP4 setup, and creates the necessary files if needed.

Only Terminal windows that are opened afterwards will have access to the CCP4 programs!

Become familiar with the concept and ways to run commands as "root" - google "mac osx become root". All the installation tasks that are run in a Terminal window require root privileges, since some of the programs and their links are written to /usr/local/bin. (As an alternative that does not require root for installation, one may create a directory $HOME/bin and use that for the programs and links. That would also require modification of the $PATH, by a one-time echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin' >> ~/.profile; echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin' >> ~/.zprofile)

So, prepare the following steps by opening the Terminal window, and then

sudo su               # this will make you root, and ask for your password
mkdir /usr/local/bin  # only if /usr/local/bin was not created before

other programs: XDS-viewer, XDSSTAT, XDSCC12, XDSGUI, XSCALE_ISOCLUSTER, generate_XDS.INP

... can be downloaded from https://wiki.uni-konstanz.de/pub/mac_bin/ . A simple way to obtain them is is to open a Terminal, and type:

sudo su

which asks for the password and gives you administrator permissions. Then,

# any folder would do; here we use /usr/local/bin/mac_bin
mkdir -p /usr/local/bin/mac_bin
cd /usr/local/bin/mac_bin
curl -O -R https://wiki.uni-konstanz.de/pub/mac_bin/get_folder.sh
chmod +x get_folder.sh
./get_folder.sh

If you want to update the programs some time later, just run these commands again.

In order to enable Eiger data processing, the get_folder.sh script

  1. copies Dectris' Neggia library and DLS's Durin library into /usr/local/lib64 (see above for Neggia and Durin on M1 Macs; the script does not yet handle this automatically)
  2. copies GlobalPhasing's hdf2mini-cbf into /usr/local/bin, but under the name H5ToXds (consider getting a autoPROC license!)
  3. copies h5dump [1] into /usr/local/bin

A 10.13 Qt5 version of XDS-viewer (compiled by T. Hauß) works on macOS Catalina, and is installed by get_folder.sh. Older Macs need this version; newer macOS should install 10.15. For XDSGUI, the Qt4 version is still the default, but a Qt5 version is available (but needs Qt5 libraries!).

Lastly, it is useful (for e.g. XDSGUI) to install xxdiff from http://furius.ca/downloads/xxdiff/releases/macosx/ . I had to go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy and add xxdiff to the programs with full disk access.

Troubleshooting

If any of the commands

ls -l /usr/local/bin/generate_XDS.INP
ls -l /usr/local/bin/xdsgui
ls -l /usr/local/bin/xds-viewer
# in the same way, check the other programs that should be used

returns a message like file or directory not found then this means that you do not have the symlink. But even if these commands do not return errors, you should also check the targets of the symlink, as shown in the output of the ls -l commands. Again, these commands should not return an error message. If they do, the programs are not installed in the location where the symlink points to. You'll have to install the programs properly (in /Applications) and make the symlink point to the correct location.

A quick way is also

which generate_XDS.INP xdsgui xds xds-viewer xdsstat xdscc12

and this should return a line for each of the programs asked for.

Windows

The programs of the XDS package as well as XDSGUI, XDSSTAT, XDSCC12 and so on may be run on 64bit Windows 10 within the Linux Subsystem for Windows (WSL, or preferably WSL2). This (easily!) installs e.g. an Ubuntu environment, which supports the apt package manager, so in principle any software available for Ubuntu may be installed (or other distros, see [2]).

A lot of technical detail is at [3] .

CCP4 documents use of WSL-1 ; see info at http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/download/#os=wsl .

Graphical Linux programs require installation of a X server like Xming or VcXsvr or Mobaxterm on the Windows host. There are helpful writeups (e.g. [4] and [5]). VcXsrc seems to have a problem with coot for some people (see WSL2 installation and responses). To use the X server with WSL, one has to say in the shell window

export DISPLAY=:0

before running the program. Running XDSGUI under WSL's Ubuntu 20.04 may require installation of a few packages with e.g.

sudo apt-get install libgomp1 libqtgui4 binutils

(see XDSGUI and above). If required, also install python and hdf5-tools.

XDSSTAT and the conversion to MTZ files by XDSCONV require a CCP4 installation accessible by WSL. In principle, CCP4 may be installed within WSL (have not tested this), or on the Windows host.

A detailed writeup for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS was provided by Dr Lata Panicker, SO(G), BARC, India.

Update September 2021: With the current version of Windows 10 and WSL, the Qt5 binary of XDSGUI does not seem to allow editing in the XDS.INP tab. If this happens, either use an external editor or use xdsgui.qt4. In the latter case, you may have to install Qt4 libraries.

WSL2

CCP4 7.1 including coot-0.9.5 works in a Ubuntu 20.04 LTS machine under WSL2 on Windows 10 version 20H2, and newer.

After installation of WSL2, I installed MobaXterm as the Xserver. When the Windows firewall asked whether it should allow MobaXterm communication, I answered "yes" for both private and public networks.

If you want to install CCP4 as a regular user, you need (as this is Linux! And replace MYWSLNAME with your WSL user name):

sudo mkdir /opt/xtal
sudo chown MYWSLNAME /opt/xtal

A few libraries are needed before CCP4 installation (tcsh is needed by CCP4; most of the others are graphics libraries; binutils provides strings):

sudo apt install tcsh libqt5opengl5 libqt5printsupport5 libqt5gui5 libxcb-render0 libxcb-shm0 libglu1-mesa libgomp1 binutils

When installing CCP4, let it "modify command line environment" for you (on one of the very first screens of the installation GUI). If you forgot this, insert a line into your ~/.bashrc :

source /opt/xtal/ccp4-7.1/bin/ccp4.setup-sh 

afterwards (this is not WSL specific, but is just Linux). I created a file in the Windows filesystem (replace MYUSERNAME with your Windows user name):

cd /mnt/c/Users/MYUSERNAME/
echo "[wsl2]" > .wslconfig
echo "kernelCommandLine = vsyscall=emulate" >> .wslconfig

to make the shelx* programs work (see https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4694 ), and to make "vsyscall=emulate" appear in /proc/cmdline. After creating the file, WSL2 must be restarted with "wsl.exe --shutdown" (or the machine booted).

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 bug has been reported).
