Installation
============

(0) MOSAICS.X.X

    These versions are capable of conformational sampling & optimization of biophysical 
    structures including proteins and nucleic acids. Molecular entities/biopolymers can be 
    described at different resolution from one center per monomer (residue/nucleotide) to 
    all atom representation with solvent effect. Definition of the molecular resolution 
    and the corresponding interactions are given by topology & parameter files available
    in the form of databases through Topology Database & Potential Database links.

(1) Download the source code 

    version.X.X.tar.gz 

(2) Uncompress the source code
    
    tar -xvzf version.X.X.tar.gz
    
    to create directory structure 
                         version.X.X/source 
                         version.X.X/examples

(3) Compile serial version

    a) cd source/compile/serial

    b) edit Makefile to specify library locations 

    c) make clean

    d) make

       to create version.X.X/examples/mosaics.x

(4) Compile mpi version (From version.4.0 or higher)

    a) cd source/compile/mpi

    b) edit Makefile to specify library locations 

    c) make clean

    d) make

       to create version.X.X/examples/mosaics_mpi.x

(5) Running MOSAICS

      ./mosaics.x mosaics.input > out 

      For further info please read DOCUMENTATION!

Download the plugin above. Open Pymol. In the upper right corner of the menu there should be a button called 'Plugins'. You should be able to follow a wizard which will ask you for the plugin file (the one you downloaded). MOSAICS should self-install after you run it for the first time.

You can also see how to install it in the video below (same on Windows, Mac and Linux):

If you want to run MOSAICS on OsX, you might have to break it to use the X11 windowing. For details see here.
