Dear PyMOL users. Since 1/5-2012 (revision 3997) pymol has an improved plugin manager due to Thomas Holder's effort. I personally believe that it is a wonderful tool to extend the capabilities of PyMOL, making it easy and fast to acquire new scripts. Since November 2011, a group of pymol users has been involved in moving a kind-of-large fraction of the scripts in pymolwiki under revision control via git and hosted at https://github.com/Pymol-**Scripts/Pymol-script-repo<https://github.com/Pymol-Scripts/Pymol-script-repo> This makes it easy to download all the scripts at one time, and also make it possible to the authors to push changes and corrections out to the users. *The combination of the improved plugin manager and the repository is powerful, and I would be interested to hear if this is useful for others.* I have tried to make an easy guide to use the combination. So, if you are a little experienced in pymol+python and know a little about paths and if have a PyMOL version with the new plugin manager, then I would be interested in any comments. The project is described here: http://pymolwiki.org/index.**php/Git<http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Git> The guide is here: http://pymolwiki.org/index.**php/Git_install<http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Git_install> 1) Get the repository - One can either download a zip file of the git repository, and unpack it. http://pymolwiki.org/index.**php/Git_install#Manual_**download_of_scripts<http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Git_install#Manual_download_of_scripts> - Or install a git repository manager, and directly pull changes from the repository. http://pymolwiki.org/index.**php/Git_install#Git_install_**instructions<http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Git_install#Git_install_instructions> 2) Combine with plugin manager : Then open PyMOL. Go to top menu: Plugin->Plugin Manager 1. Installed plugins: Unclick "apbs_tools" as "load on startup". (The Pymol-script-repo has a fine-tuned version, "apbsplugin") 2. Settings->Add new directory: Point to: /custom/path/Pymol-script-repo/plugins 3. Restart PyMOL -------------- If there is any script or plugin from the pymolwiki, which you think would be good to have in the repository, don't hesitate to write me with the suggestion, and I will put it in. http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Category:Script_Library http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Category:Plugins -------- Best Troels Emtekær Linnet |
