SPIDER & WEB INSTALLATION ON UNIX

SPIDER

SPIDER consists of two separate modules. The main SPIDER module is used for all operations that do not require graphical interaction or visualization. The WEB module is used for operations that involve graphical interaction with the data such as display of files. The target machine for Unix SPIDER and WEB is a SGI workstation. Sample "Makefiles" are provided which work on SGI Irix, DEC Unix, and SunSparc Unix. If you intend to run on other flavors of Unix these makefiles will have to be altered. Further information on SPIDER installation is contained in spider-inst-sgi.html.

WEB

WEB is a point-and-click interface for SPIDER graphics that uses the MOTIF/X-WINDOW system. Unlike the main SPIDER module which is written in FORTRAN, the Unix WEB module has been written in C. The change of language was prompted by the lack of FORTRAN bindings for MOTIF on most computers. Further information on WEB installation is contained in web/docs/web-inst-sgi.html
