Phenix Molstar

Phenix implementation of the Mol* viewer. Minimal changes have been made to the default viewer, but the entire project is forked for simplicity. Full installation options for molstar are described in the original readme file README_MOLSTAR.md

Install

Clone into existing qttbx directory

(under your local Phenix installation location)

cd ~/phenix/modules/cctbx_project/qttbx/
git clone https://github.com/phenix-project/phenix-molstar/
cd phenix-molstar

Install node.js

First verify you don't have node.js. If node -v and npm -v print a version you already have it. For best results use the latest version. If the version is too low (<14), this application will definitely not work.

MacOS

Go to https://nodejs.org/ and download the .pkg file. Install it

Linux

Consider nodesource.

After installation

1. Verify installation with node -v. This should also install npm, the node package manager. Verify with npm -v
2. Install the http server with sudo npm install -g http-server

Build the Molstar app

npm install
npm run build
