Q: Where can I find instructions for installing PSIPRED for use with Prime?

A: Instructions for installing PSIPRED on Linux are given in the Installation Guide. Note that PSIPRED is not available for Windows. For Suite 2010, you must use version 2.61: later versions are incompatible.

Briefly, to install PSIPRED on Linux-x86:

1. Create the required directory:

mkdir -p $SCHRODINGER/thirdparty/bin/Linux-x86/psipred

or if you are using the SCHRODINGER_THIRDPARTY environment variable

mkdir -p $SCHRODINGER_THIRDPARTY/bin/Linux-x86/psipred

2. Download psipred261.tar.gz from the PSIPRED download site at http://bioinfadmin.cs.ucl.ac.uk/downloads/psipred/old/psipred261.tar.gz.

3. Unpack PSIPRED into the directory you created:

tar xzvf psipred261.tar.gz -C $SCHRODINGER/thirdparty/bin/Linux-x86/psipred

or

tar xzvf psipred261.tar.gz -C $SCHRODINGER_THIRDPARTY/bin/Linux-x86/psipred
