Macromolecular Crystallography Software

The table below lists all the crystallographic software programs installed on the SSRL computers. Programs that are fully supported by SSRL staff are regularly updated (usually within 2-3 months of the version release) and thoroughly tested in the beamline environment. Unsupported programs are also available, but no guarantees are made as to updates, configuration, testing, etc.

Older and more recent versions of some programs may be available. To find out which versions are available, use the "module avail" command:

  • module list (list the currently active version of the programs).
  • module avail (list all available versions of the programs).
  • module switch "default-version" "another-version" (changes the current default version of the program with the desired version).

Please click on the program name to access the program home page.
