Dynamo should be already installed in your local directory ~/dynamo. Check in with:

ls ~/dynamo

You should see something like this:

C

Installing Dynamo

If Dynamo is not installed: 'To install Dynamo locally, just open a Linux terminal (not a matlab terminal ) and write:

/clab-share/installDynamo.sh

It should take around a minute.

Opening Matlab

We will be using the Matlab release R2017a. To open it, type in the shell:

/usr/local/matlab/R2017a/bin/matlab &

Opening Dynamo in Matlab

After opening a Matlab session, you'll need to activate Dynamo in that session. Dynamo should be installed locally in ~/dynamo. In order to activate your local Dynamo version, please type in the Matlab shell:

run ~/dynamo/dynamo_activate.m

As a fallback, we have a centrally installed version in /clab-share/dynamo

Opening Dynamo as standalone

If you want to use Dynamo from a Linux terminal:

source ~/dynamo/dynamo_activate_linux_shipped_MCR.sh

To follow the workshop, we recommend to use the Matlab version.

Activate Chimera UCSF

If you want to use Chimera UCSF during a Dynamo session inside Matlab, you need to tell Dynamo where Chimera is:

run  /clab-share/activateChimera.m
