hi. I have recently installed phenix-1.8.4 in my lab's RHEL work-station using './install' command. When i try to use 'phenix command' , the cursor of the terminal goes on blinking for almost hours, before opening the gui. Is there any way to avoid such long start-up time.! thank you. -- Abhisek Mondal *Research Fellow* *Structural Biology and Bioinformatics* *Indian Institute of Chemical Biology* *Kolkata 700032* *INDIA*

Please try installing from source - we usually discourage this because it takes longer (and is more work for us to support), but problems like this can often be fixed this way. -Nat

Ya! I am running it from source but still it takes a long time. I am wondering whether this is because of my processor(intel Pentium D) speed. thank you. On Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 8:00 PM, Nathaniel Echols wrote:

Phenix is huge, especially with the many dependencies, so it always takes a while to compile - this is one of the main reasons why we usually discourage use of the source installer. If you have multiple CPU cores, you can parallelize it by adding "--nproc=X" to the install arguments, where "X" is the number of cores to use. -Nat
