1 Installing Ordalie

1.1 Requirements

Ordalie runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux 32/64 bits platforms. In order to display 3D structures Ordalie uses the OpenGL library which is generally provided by the graphic card in most computers.


   
Image attention
On MacOS, since the Mojave OS version, the OpenGL library is not included in MacOS distribution anymore. It could still be installed freely through the App Store.
   

Ordalie can be run without network connection. Nevertheless, accessing Internet is required in order to benefit of all functionalities such as accessing and querying sequences databases (PDB, UniProt, NCBI), aligning sequences on-the-fly, or using web services.

1.2 Installation

Ordalie is freely available at http: //www.lbgi.fr/ordalie. Clicking on a given platform (Windows 64 bits, MacOS and Linux 64 bits) downloads an installer for that platform.

1.2.1 Windows

Run the installer, accept the license and follow the instructions. After install is completed, the installer will automatically launch Ordalie. A desktop icon will be also created.

1.2.2 Linux and Mac versions

The Ordalie installer comes as a zipped tar file. To install Ordalie, please follow these instructions:

% tar -zxf setup-linux-x8664.tar.gz
% cd setup-linux-x8664
% ./install.sh

By default, installation is made in /usr/local/. By sure to have privileges before installing. Alternatively Ordalie can be installed in the user directory or in any specified directory.
