Download and Installation

The current version of FilaSitus can be downloaded by clicking this link.

Here is a list of UNIX shell commands that generate the executables using the provided Makefile and the "gcc" GNU C compiler (freely available for most UNIX platforms):

tar xvfz FilaSitus.tar.Z
cd FilaSitus/src
make all
make clean
cd ..
ls bin

The FilaSitus directory contains the legal statement (text file) and the subdirectories src (source code), bin (executables + input files), and solutions (tutorial solutions). To remove the created executables enter:

cd src
make veryclean

FilaSitus should work on SGI, HP, Sun, PC/Linux, and MacOS X workstations. Using compilers other than the GNU C compiler usually involves (easy) editing of the Makefile (FilaSitus/src/Makefile) to adjust the C compiler name and options. E.g. for the SGI or MacOS X "cc" compiler, replace "gcc" with "cc".

Note: After installing FilaSitus install the VMD graphics package (optional but highly recommended). FilaSitus does not provide its own molecular graphics viewer but an interface to VMD). We recommend to install VMD 1.7 which is fully compatible with the interface.
