I used the command line installer. ( I put phenix in strange places ).
Okay, weird...
Remove the bundle completely. i.e. Why not pull MacPyMOL.app/Contents/MacOS/MacPyMOL out from the .app directory structure and distribute it as an executable underneath a macpymol.noindex under phenix-1.7.1-743/build/mac-intel-osx-x86_64/base/bin. (.noindex to disable spotlight indexing of this dir as well)
I'm pretty confident this won't work - the actual MacPyMOL binary object is only about a third of the contents of the app bundle.
I thought that 0.99 was kept around for specific reasons (maybe something is missing/broken in future builds?)
Then again wasn't 0.99 the point at which Shroedinger took over and maybe changed the license terms?
Nope, Warren made the 0.99 builds freely available without purchasing a license - this is the only version of MacPyMOL that we are legally allowed to distribute (and this has been true for many years now). As far as I know the license terms have not changed significantly; at any rate, it is still easy to obtain and compile the current open-source PyMOL. But we don't distribute that because it requires X11, and the native MacPyMOL has always been proprietary.
Anyways I would welcome a slimmed version of phenix that didn't include PyMOL. My SSD would be much happier.
Actually, it's only 33MB out of about 1.8GB - for what it's worth, these are the largest sub-directories in 1.7.3 (with sizes in MB): 443 phenix-1.7.3-928/build 412 phenix-1.7.3-928/chem_data 197 phenix-1.7.3-928/phenix_regression 161 phenix-1.7.3-928/solve_resolve 149 phenix-1.7.3-928/phenix_examples 103 phenix-1.7.3-928/boost They're not going to get much smaller, unfortunately. :( -Nat
