Installing the Plugin

Download the Plugin here

Note: make sure you have Delphi downloaded and located somewhere in your operating system's environment program path. (In Linux/Unix if you type "which delphi" and there isn't an error then you should be all set) Also make sure that you have the most lately updated radius and charge parameter files (.siz and .crg files) downloaded from the Delphi developers to somewhere convenient if you plan to use them in the runs (though they aren't mandatory when the charge values exist in the loaded files, for instance: .prmtop, .pqr, and .psf files).

UNIX INSTALLATION

1. unzip the tarball to a directory of your choice by using this command: tar -xzf delenselec.tgz <your directory here>
2. add these two lines of code to your .vmdrc file (usually located in your ~/ directory. If you do not have one, download a sample .vmdrc file)
   

   
   set auto_path "$auto_path <your directory here>/delensembleelec"; #(NOTE: this may require the full pathname)
   
   vmd_install_extension delphielec delphielec_tk_cb "Analysis/DelEnsembleElec"
                           

   Note: if you have write permissions to the VMD plugin folder, you can simply add the "delenselec1.0" folder to the directory ".../plugins/noarch/tcl/" and you only need the second of the above two lines placed into your .vmdrc file.
   
   Another Note: You must have the line: menu main on in your .vmdrc file or else VMD will not work properly.

3. Now open VMD to see if it works

WINDOWS INSTALLATION

1. unzip the tarball to the plugin directory (probably located somewhere like C:\Program Files\University of Illinois\VMD\plugins\noarch\tcl\ )
   
   
2. Make sure that the unzipped folder is named "delenselec1.0"
   
   
3. add this line of code to your vmd.rc file (usually located in the same directory as the executable: such as C:\Program Files\University of Illinois\VMD) If you do not have one, download a sample .vmdrc file)
   vmd_install_extension delphielec delphielec_tk_cb "Analysis/DelEnsembleElec"
   
   
4. Now open VMD
   Click Extensions > Analysis > DelEnsembleElec
