Using Blastermaster 2.0

0. Copy the blaster config file to your directory

Copy your rec.pdb and xtal-lig.pdb files to your directory. Blastermaster 2.0 will look for these in the directory in which you run it (or at whichever file paths you set for their corresponding parameters in the config file).

1. Source the relevant pre-configured environment

Gimel:

source /nfs/soft2/ian/env.sh

Wynton: N/A

2. Generate a blaster config file to your directory

The following will generate a file called "blasterconfig.yaml"

blasterconfig

The following will generate a file called whatever you put for <BLASTER_CONFIG_FILE_NAME>

blasterconfig <BLASTER_CONFIG_FILE_NAME>

3. Edit the blaster config file to your specifications

To enter the vi text editor:

vi <BLASTER_CONFIG_FILE_NAME>

To enter edit-mode, press "i".

Make your edits.

When you're done, press "ESC" to exit edit-mode.

Press "x!" followed by "RETURN" to save your edits and exit the text editor.

4. Run

blastermaster <BLASTER_CONFIG_FILE_NAME>
