Failed pyScope numExtension Window installation through python

Why:

  • Specially compiled pyScope and numExtension are needed to comunicate with Gatan CCD camera. Currently we only have them compiled for python2.5

Solution: Download and use python2.5 and use the window-installer in win-install folder (start by double-clicking them) not "python setup.py install".

Incomplete Leginon update

This normally happens to files that you have modified in the previous version.

Why:

  • unknown

Solution: Remove the old installation first.

  • Find the location of your Leginon installation. Once you have tried,even unsuccessfully, to install Leginon. You can use the following command to find the directory:

    Linux> cd Linux> start-leginon.py -v

    Window> Go to \All Programs\Leginon\Leginon Folder from your Start Menu

  • Go to the directory above it. This is normally the site-package directory under your python installation

    Linux> rm -r Leginon Window> drag the Leginon folder to Recycle Bin

  • Redo Leginon installation.

Installation without a class of nodes

If you encounter a problem with node classes that you don't actually use, you may avoid loading the codes with the following modification:

  • Fnd the location of your Leginon installation

    Linux> cd Linux> start-leginon.py -v

  • go to the subdirectory of noderegistry

    Linux/home> cd leginon_directory/noderegistry

  • edit the file "default.ncr" to coment out the registry of the class of nodes that you do not need (Tomography node class in this example):

    [Tomography]

    module: tomography

    type: Pipeline

    package: tomography
