CSD

The Cambridge Structural Database contains crystallographic data on small organic molecules (much like the PDB). Our license is installed on gimel in Cluster 2 (2020-03-26)

$ source /nfs/soft/csd/csd-2020/env.csh

To activate the license, become root on gimel

$ ccdc_activator -A -a -k <activation-key> -f /nfs/soft/csd/csd-2020/csd/csd_license.dat

Applying Data Updates

We get emails from CCDC that announce updates. For whatever reason, the automatic update via the GUI doesn't work for us, probaby due to the way we route software from nfs-soft to the rest of the cluster so we manually download the update packages from CCDC. scp or rsync the runfile from CCDC to nfs-soft's /tmp directory.

Run these updates on bet/nfs-soft directly:

[root@bet tmp]# ./CSDDataUpdate-May19-linux-x64-installer.run
