Molflow on Fedora-based Linux
Prerequisites:
Molflow is dependent on OpenGL, OpenGL Utility Library (GLU), and 7-zip libraries. In case they are missing install them like this:
ALMAlinux 9
sudo dnf install epel-release
sudo dnf install p7zip*
sudo dnf install libglvnd-opengl
sudo dnf install mesa-libGLU
For CentosOS 8 or similar:
sudo dnf in libglvnd-opengl
sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf in p7zip
Install and run
- Download and extract Molflow and open a Terminal in the directory where you extracted it
-
Make the three binaries in Molflow's folder executable*:
chmod +x molflow molflowCLI compress
Tip
On versions 2.7, there was no
molflowCLI
and on 2.8,molflowCLI
was calledmolflowSub
-
Run Molflow:
./molflow
We only tested on CERN's official Fedora distro, ALMALinux 9. Feedback is welcome how to make MolFlow run on other Fedora-based distros.
