To install the CCP4 GUI compatible with Phaser-2.3 under linux:

• Download CCP4 interface for Phaser_MR Phaser_MR_3.tar.gz
• Download CCP4 interface for Phaser_EP Phaser_EP_3.tar.gz
• Download CCP4 interface for Phaser_NMA Phaser_NMA_3.tar.gz
• If you have CCP4-4.2 installed, download phaser-ccp4i-4.2-extras.tar.gz as well

To install the Phaser CCP4 GUI

The Phaser CCP4 GUI is designed to work with CCP4-5.0 or above, and requires some GUI utilities introduced in the 5.0 distribution. However, if you wish to use Phaser within CCP4-4.2, you can supply these utilities by downloading and installing phaser-ccp4i-4.2-extras.tar.gz, following the instructions given in that download.

The Phaser CCP4 GUI will work immediately with CCP4-5.0 or above, in which case the "extras" file should not be installed.

To install or uninstall the Phaser gui you must have write permission for the directory where ccp4 is installed

To install new Phaser GUI

1. Start the CCP4 GUI (by entering "ccp4i" at the command line)
2. Select the "System Administration" pull-down on the right-hand side of the CCP4 gui
3. Select "Install Tasks"
4. In the new window, in the "Task archive" box, enter <path-to>/Phaser_MR_3.tar.gz. Note that the file must be called Phaser_MR_3.tar.gz − Do not rename it
