Re: How to install 3DNA on Windows?
xiangjun:
Congratulations! Now you have 3DNA installed. You could move/copy x3dna-dssr.exe into the x3dna-v2.3/bin directory so it can also be directly accessible.
For your own benefit (and other new 3DNA users), please summarize the long process you have gone through.
MingyuSun:
I am sorry for failing to notice your reply in time again. As for the summary, I will definately do with pleasure! 3DNA is a great work! Could I leave that for my birthday on Mar. 20th, since I have been doing something myself in celebration for the day ever since I was 17? And this year, I want to do the summary for my birthday. Before that, I will enjoy my journey, trying to get more about it and providing more information at that time.
But I can also do it right away if you hope so.
Yours
Mingyu

I tried install 3DNA with Cygwin for several times to finish my homework I left here, only to fail again. I found this topic and I followed, http://forum.x3dna.org/howtos/problem-installing-x3dna-in-windows-with-gygwin/ , in fact, I also tried several changes after the failure, but still succeed. I tried this way too. I put the sreenshots here. What's wrong again?

Within the opened terminal, type the following commands strictly:
Quote
echo 'export X3DNA=$HOME/x3dna-v2.3' > .profile
echo 'export PATH=$X3DNA/bin:$PATH' >> .profile
cat .profile
Close the shell
Double-click the msys icon to open another shell

I tried to install X3DNA on my PC with windows. and tried to install it using the commands as given in the picture. It says cat: command not found. Please help me in this regard. Also the msys icon is there in the file, not installed in the desktop . When I am double clicking on this icon in the file, an image file is opening instead of the shell. The shell I opened by directly clicking on sh (application file).
xiangjun:
Hi,
Thanks for using 3DNA. I feel your frustration in getting 3DNA up and running. Let's see how we can work together to get over the hurdle.
I am a bit surprised that the 'cat' command is not found in your MinGW/MSYS installation. However, it is not essential for running 3DNA. Please try the following commands:
--- Code: ---source .profile
find_pair -h
--- End code ---
Report back how it goes.
