How To Install libcctbx-dev on Debian 12
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libcctbx-dev on Debian 12.
What is libcctbx-dev
libcctbx-dev is:
Computational Crystallography Toolbox contains following modules: - annlib_adaptbx: - boost_adaptbx: wrappers for Boost functionality in CCTBX - cbflib_adaptbx: - ccp4io_adaptbx: - cctbx: Libraries for general crystallographic applications, useful for both small-molecule and macro-molecular crystallography. - cma_es: - crys3d: Modules for the display of molecules, electron density, and reciprocal space data. - dxtbx: The Diffraction Image Toolbox, a library for handling X-ray detector data of arbitrary complexity from a variety of standard formats. - fable: Fortran EMulation library for porting Fortran77 to C++. - gltbx: Python bindings for OpenGL - iotbx: Working with common crystallographic file formats. - libtbx: The build system common to all other modules. This includes a very thin wrapper around the SCons software construction tool. It also contains many useful frameworks and utilities to simplify application development, including tools for regression testing, parallelization across multiprocessor systems and managed clusters, and a flexible, modular configuration syntax called PHIL (Python Hierarchial Interface Language) used throughout the CCTBX. - mmtbx: Functionality specific to macromolecular crystallography. This includes all of the machinery required for setup of geometry restraints, bulk solvent correction and scaling, analysis of macromolecular diffraction data, calculation of weighted map coefficients, and most of the methods implemented in phenix.refine. The majority of infrastructure for the MolProbity validation server (and Phenix equivalent) is also located here. - omptbx: OpenMP interface. - rstbx: A reciprocal space toolbox to autoindex small molecule Bragg diffraction, given the reciprocal space vectors. - scitbx: General scientific calculations. his includes a family of high-level C++ array types, a fast Fourier transform library, and a C++ port of the popular L-BFGS quasi-Newton minimizer. - smtbx: Small-Molecule crystallography. - spotfinder: - tbxx: - wxtbx: wxPython controls used in the Phenix GUI and various utilities
This package provide everythings needed to link against the cctbx libraries.
There are three methods to install libcctbx-dev on Debian 12. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.
