Dear CCP4 Users, Following the release of ccp4 6.3.0, CCP4 core team sets up an update mechanism for moderate modifications of Suite's components between the releases. It is expected that updates will be essential for CCP4 maintenance and will make patch releases less frequent or even redundant, while delivering bug fixes and new features much more efficiently than before. Please take a moment to install CCP4 update functionality as described below.
While update mechanism will be integrated in all future CCP4 releases, it needs to be installed manually in CCP4 6.3.0. When installed, the updater checks for new updates automatically, and issues a message when new updates are available. After that, updates can be installed in a few mouse clicks. If, for some reason, you find a particular update undesirable, it can be removed with auto-reverting your CCP4 setup to the pre-update state. Note that the update mechanism cannot be used with CCP4 versions lower than 6.3.0, therefore, please upgrade to the latest CCP4 release if you have not done it so far. For upgrade, proceed to CCP4 download pages at http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/download/ . Detail update installation instructions are given in http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/download/update_manual.html The document may seem to be lengthy, however, installation should not take more than a few minutes: 1) download update client (archived) using an appropriate link in the above manual 2) unpack the archive into the top of CCP4 directory ( C:/CCP4/6.3/ in Windows, ccp4-6.3.0/ in Linux/Mac OSX) 3) run the update client (update.exe/update/Update.app) _from CCP4 directory_ by double-clicking on it in your file browser 4) install 1st update 5) (re-)start ccp4i, and see new "Manage Updates" button in the bottom-right corner of ccp4i window. If this does not work for you for any reason, please (re-)read update manual for details. If that does not help as well, please write to us. Thank you for using CCP4, Eugene Krissinel. -- Scanned by iCritical.
