DSSR Download and Installation

(1/1)

se3DNAcct:
Hello,

When I download the DSSR executable for MacOS, I only get the following text file whose contents are unintelligible.  How can I get the correct download in order to install DSSR?  Please advise; your help is much appreciated!

Thank you very much.

Note added by Xiang-Jun: the attached DSSR program for macOS was removed on 2019-09-27.

Hi,

Please check the following two things:


* The .dms extension (thus x3dna-dssr.dms instead of the intended x3dna-dssr) is added by Safari on macOS. Using the Google Chrome browser won't have the problem. To avoid confusion, you could simply remove the extra extension by: mv x3dna-dssr.dms x3dna-dssr
* Change the access permissions of the downloaded x3dna-dssr file, by using the chmod u+x command option to make it executable. Then DSSR should work -- check it out: x3dna-dssr -h
I've updated the DSSR User Manual with a note on the extra .dms on macOS. Please read it and let me know if anything is still unclear.

HTH,

Xiang-Jun
