Update VMBiskit
Updating the VMBiskit machine
Update the Operating system:
sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude upgrade
Update the biskit installation:
cd ~/py/biskit svn update
Install databases:
VMBiskit comes without the PFam and Blast databases to keep its size manageable. Before using Conservation profile method (PDBDope.addConservation) you need to download and install the Pfam database:
- follow the instructions in setup Pfam
Before using the homology modeling pipeline you need to download and install the blast database (and also the Modeller program):
- follow the instructions in setup Blast (skip point 1, the NCBI toolkit is already installed)
A better option would be if you would mount an existing folder with these databases into the virtual machine. For that you have to edit /etc/fstab. [Put in detailed instructions]
Change password:
passwd
Since everyone can look up the original password on this web site, this may be a good idea...
Good luck!
