The Coot package for Ubuntu is based exclusively on crystallography packages that are already available in Ubuntu, such as gpp4, mmdb, ssm, clipper, plus of course all the GTK and Python packages. Speaking of which, this package is built with Python support only, Guile is not activated.
One dependent package is not in Ubuntu's official repo, namely the refmac dictionary; however this package will be pulled in from the PPA.
The packages are available from my PPA at launchpad.net [0]. Currently only for distributions 10.04 LTS (Lucid) and 10.10 (Maverick). Please note, my local machine currently runs Lucid, and I have not debugged the Maverick packages at all.
The packages contain the bleeding edge version 0.7-pre-1 from the Subversion repository at Google Code. Therefore, the usual disclaimers apply, since this is _not_ the stable production version of Coot.
To install the coot package on your system, you first need to install the public key for my PPA. Save the attached file "ppa-mok0.key" locally, and do this:
sudo apt-key add ppa-mok0.key Next, add my PPA repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list file: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mok0/ppa That's it! Now, you should be able to: apt-get update && apt-get install coot -- Morten [0] https://edge.launchpad.net/~mok0/+archive/ppa
ppa-mok0.key
