Installation Instructions For Linux Ubuntu 14.04

GROMITA-4.6 can be easily installed with the setup.pl installation perl script, which checks if all prerequisites are available and installs GROMITA.

1. Install GROMACS and the programs it depends on.


2. Install Perl (in most Linux distributions is already installed).


3. Install Perl-Tk:

$ sudo apt-get install perl-tk

(type Password)


4. Install File::HomeDir module:

$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install "File::HomeDir"'

If prompted, enter your password.


5. Extract the compressed file (e.g in your desktop).


6. Open a terminal and cd to newly created directory.
The following steps must be done as superuser for GROMITA to be available to all users. Type:

$ sudo perl setup.pl

If prompted, enter your password. The setup script will then check for the installed perl version, its modules, GROMACS path etc. Note that GROMITA may complain about some version numbers, because it asks for the versions under which it was developed. It will probably work well with much lower versions, just it has not been tested with them.
