Installation#
All our software can be installed and used for free, as long as you accept the EULA. The free version is limited to 1 GPU. To run on more GPUs, please contact us for a license.
Instructions#
To install all our software (HTMD, Moleculekit and ACEMD), open a terminal and run:
1conda create -n ace_software #create a new conda environment (recommended but not necessary)
2conda activate ace_software #activate the new conda environment if you decided to create one
3conda install htmd acemd3 python=3.10 -c acellera -c conda-forge
If you do not have conda, you can install it following instructions on this website.
Additionally, you might want to install VMD, a molecular visualization program. Instructions on how to do it can be found on the VMD website. Note that VMD is not developed or maintained by Acellera and it might require a license on its own.
Sanity check#
Finally, in order to ensure that everything was installed properly, you can do the following checks:
1#if you created a separate conda environment, remember to activate it
2conda activate ace_software

4#print help section of ACEMD

7#now open an ipython or python session to check HTMD and Moleculekit:

13prot = Molecule('3PTB')
