Re: [DIYbio] Re: Protein Shop Help!

Well, usually the idiot's guide is "double click", when it comes to the sort of graphical program people from Applesoft systems are most familiar with. It should be the same for this, too, onve it's built.

The smaller problem lies in that the software you've chosen isn't available "built", only as source code. That's not a linux problem: if this were a winmac app, it would still need to be built first.

The bigger problem is that it's proven really challenging to build, on account of innate bugs and simply becoming outdated.

Hi Tim,

Thank you and everyone who contributed to this thread.  Unfortunately, I had no idea what any of you were talking about lol!  I appreciate you taking the time to get it working.  I'm still not sure how to use the information you posted on your website.  For instance, I'm not sure where to run the commands for doing the change directory or the make.  Never used Linux before, so don't even know where to start.  I need "Idiot's Guide to Running Programs in Linux".

Thanks,
John

Hi John,

I am quite interested in assisting you in any way you need.  I am a computer scientist that has studied synthetic biology for a number of years.  You can download and run protein shop effortlessly using the virtual appliance I created here:

http://www.graysonconsulting.biz/

All tools to run this virtual appliance are free.  All you have to do is download virtual box and .ova from that website and start the ova appliance.  Proteinshop will come up automatically with the ubiquitin protein.  Let me know if you have questions :>

-Tim

P.S.

Meredith said she wanted to create a test suite and what have you to make this fully functional.  I am happy to assist in that effort!  Meredith, please put on your supergirl costume and use me like a tool in your tool box :>

Is anyone still working on this? Or should I try the other options for protein manipulation?
Thanks,

I have never used a Linux OS before, but I downloaded the latest version of Ubuntu in order to run Protein Shop.  I downloaded the latest version of Protein Shop, but I don't know how to start it.  I know nothing about using Linux, so any explicit, basic instructions would be most helpful.  In the readme file, it mentions some other files that may need to be installed, but I don't even know where to begin. Please help!

 

Thanks,

John
