NMRPipe Installation Guide, Install Files, and Sample Data
November 24 2015

NMRPipe is an extensive software system for processing, analyzing, and exploiting NMR spectroscopic data. This web page contains NMRPipe installation files, as well as demo data with example processing andanalysis schemes.The main web site for the software, with links to tutorials and documentation is:

http://spin.niddk.nih.gov/NMRPipe

In addition, there are several web-based applications for manipulatingchemical shifts, dipolar couplings, Small-Angle X-Ray Scatteringdata, and molecular structures. The applications include web-based servers for TALOS+, TALOS-N, and SPARTA+ chemical shift analysis. You can find the various servers here:

http://spin.niddk.nih.gov/bax/nmrserver
The NMRPipe system is officially unsupported by the NIHand without warranties or guarantees of any kind.There is an unofficial mailing list for information on use and features of NMRPipe ... you can join and post your ownquestions and comments by going to the following web page:
http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/nmrpipe/info

Some previous versions of NMRPipe have an expiration date. To override the expiration date, try the following environment variable setting:

The following are GENERAL REQUIREMENTS for installing and using NMRPipe:

  • A working knowledge of UNIX, including use of a text editor, andcreation of shell scripts.
  • One of the required UNIX systems such as Linux (most all PC versions), Mac OS X, or SFU 3.5 for Windows XP Pro.
  • The system used for installation must be 32-bit compatible. This means that64-bit systems must have 32-bit compatibility libraries installed as needed.
  • A user account with C-shell (/bin/csh or /bin/tcsh) as the default shell.
  • X11 Graphics server and the xterm terminal window.
  • A three-button scroll-wheel mouse or its equivalent.

The installation of NMRPipe posted here provides the followingfeatures and versions:

  • Standard Options, including nmrPipe, nmrDraw, nmrWish, TALOS+, SPARTA+,DC, MFR, DYNAMO, ACME.
  • Conversion tools for Bruker, Varian, and other formats.
  • NMRPipe for Linux: version linux9(Fedora Core 9, glibc2.8, 32-bit) and version linux (Fedora Core 4, glibc2.3, 32-bit). These Linux versions of NMRPiperequire 32-bit compatibility libraries when used on64-bit systems. The install procedure will automaticallychoose the NMRPipe Linux version that is suitable, so NMRPipe can be installed on most versions of Linux currently in use.
  • A 64-bit version of NMRPipe: linux212_64(CentOS 6.5, glibc2.12, 64-bit). This 64-bit version will only be installedif you include the option +type linux212_64 for theinstall.com installation script.The version of the nmrDraw graphical interface included is still the 32-bit version,and no 64-bit version of nmrDraw will be produced. So wheninstalling 64-bit versions of NMRPipe, 32-bit compatibilitylibraries will still be required. Information on how to installrequired libraries for recent CentOS and Ubuntu systems is provided belowin the System-Specific Installation Notes for Linux.
  • NMRPipe for Mac OS X Intel/PPC (version mac, built on Mac OS X 10.5.8 gcc 4.0.1 XQuartz 2.6.3).
  • NMRPipe for Windows XP Pro running SFU 3.5 (version winxp).
  • NMRPipe for SGI Irix (version sgi6x, built on Irix 6.5 for mips2).
  • NMRPipe Sparc Solaris (version sol, built on SunOS 5.6).
  • C Source Code for programs which read, write, and interpret the NMRPipedata format (directory format in the installation).
  • C Source Code for Creating NMRPipe Plug-In Functions (directory nmruserin the installation).

If there are any PROBLEMS installing NMRPipe, PLEASE review the install instructions carefully, including the section about INSTALLATION PROBLEMS below.

This text describes both the GENERAL and SYSTEM-SPECIFIC details for installation of NMRPipe. Please review BOTH the general and system-specific details carefully before installing the software -- this will help us to use our resources in the most effective way as we continue to develop and distribute NMRPipe.

NMRPipe is a UNIX-based system, and so it will require a familiarity of UNIX to install and use the software. This means that an NMRPipe user must be familiar with the UNIX command-line and environment, and know how to create and edit UNIX shell-scripts using a text editor. This is true for all versions of NMRPipe, including the Mac OS X and Windows XP versions.

Some web browsers, especially those used on Windows and Mac OS X, may change the extensions of downloaded files, or attempt to decompress any downloaded files which have been previously compressed. Therefore, when downloading NMRPipe files, take care to retain the exact original file names, and disable any automatic decompression or adjustment of downloaded files. The size of the downloaded files should exactly match the posted sizes.

The most common installation problems involve one of these issues:

  • The user's default shell must be set to the C-Shell (/bin/csh); this is often done with the UNIX 'chsh' command, or by system-specificmethods described below.
  • The user must have a .cshrc file in their home directory,which includes the appropriate commands for establishing the UNIX environment variables required by NMRPipe.
    The necessary initialization commands can be found in the file README_NMRPIPE_USERSwhich is created during installation. If these initialization commands are not executed properly, or if the initializationsettings are changed by settings for other software,error messages like the following will result:
    • nmrPipe: Command not found.
    • cannot find manpage for 'nmrPipe'
    • NMRTXT: Undefined variable
    • Error in startup script: can't read 'env(TCLPATH)': no such variable
    • Application initialization failed: Can't find a usable init.tcl
    • error while loading shared libraries:libxview.so
    • error while loading shared libraries:libtcl8.4.so
    • error while loading shared libraries:libtk8.4.so
    • error while loading shared libraries:libBLT24.so
    • 'Can't find a usable init.tcl
    • XView error: Cannot open connection to window server

    As noted elsewhere, it is important to LOG OUT and LOG IN AGAIN after changingthe '.cshrc' file in order for the NMRPipe initialization to become active.Since other configuration changes might require restarting the computer,it is best to perform a complete restart if possible.
    If the NMRPipe initialization is performed properly, several NMRPipe-relatedenvironment variables will be defined. Use the UNIX commandprintenv to list the current environment variables,in order to check that the NMRPipe-related ones are defined.for example:
  • Many NMRPipe applications make use of output from C-shell scripts, many of which may execute a user's .cshrcfile when invoked. So, it is important that the commands in .cshrcdo not produce anytext output when the .cshrc file is executed, or some NMRPipe applications may fail.You can test for this by counting the characters produced when the .cshrc file is executeddirectly, which should produce the output 0:
  • Many recent 64-bit versions of Linux do not install the 32-bit librariesrequired by NMRPipe. In this case, all of the programs of NMRPipe willfail to run. See the notes on Linux Platform installationbelow for more information.
  • In some cases, especially on SGI systems and many Linux environments, the fonts required by the nmrDraw application are not present or not loaded properly. If the required fonts are not available,the nmrDraw program may fail and generate an error message such as:The NMRPipe installation includes fonts suitable for most systems;in most cases, this kind of problem can be fixed by executing an NMRPipefont.com initialization script from within the user's .cshrcfile.In other cases, such as Linux Fedora Core 12, the fonts required bynmrDraw are not available by default, but canbe downloaded and installed with a command like the following:
  • Certain Linux environments, such as Ubuntu, don't have 'Helvetica' andsome other common fonts. This can affect the appearanceof NMRWish-based graphical applications, such as the varian and brukercommands. Installing the following font package might help:
  • Certain graphics environments may not be suitable, depending on thewindow manager (the program that manages the graphical desktop of thecomputer) and the color settings (such as 8-bit color or 24-bit color). For example, certain versions of the Linux Gnome Desktop graphics environment using 32-bit color might cause nmrDraw to run slowlyor not at all, or cause problems in other graphical applicationslike TALOS+. Such problems can be often be fixed by adjusting the color settings (24-bit color is recommended) or using a different window manager (such as Linux KDE instead of Gnome).
  • In order to run the nmrDraw program, Mac OS X users might have to install updated versions of Mac's X11 graphics server. They might also need to adjust X11 mouse focus settings. More details are given in the Mac OS X installation notes below.

How to Install a Hardware specific Version of NMRPipe: a Quick Overview

The specific steps needed to install NMRPipe will differ dependingon the hardware and operating system, and also on how a given computer or its network is configured. The installation will require that you are familiar with UNIX and the UNIX command line,and that you already know how to create and edit UNIX shell scripts.

Some of the NMRPipe directories contain demo data and scriptswhich require read-write access. For this reason, it is oftenuseful to install 'personal' copies of NMRPipe rather than install the software via the 'root' account.

The specific details for installing NMRPipe on particular operatingsystems are given in the sections below.In general, the steps for installing NMRPipe will involve:

  1. Set up a system with UNIX, an X11 graphics server, a useraccount with the C-shell as the default shell, and with the 'xterm'terminal window available from the UNIX command-line.The system should have a three-button scroll-wheel mouse or its equivalent.
  2. Create a directory for the NMRPipe installation, where youhave complete permissions to create, read, write, and execute files.
  3. Put the NMRPipe install files into the selected install directory.The usual files are as follows, although you may be provided withadditional files for extra features or updates:
    • install.com (the install script)
    • binval.com (an auxiliary script which determines system type)
    • NMRPipeX.tZ (all versions of NMRPipe)
    • talos.tZ (optional, files required for TALOS+ and SPARTA+)
    • dyn.tZ (optional, files required for DYNAMO and MFR).

  4. Depending on how the NMRPipe install files are obtained, it will benecessary adjust the file permissions so that it is possibleto read all of the install files and to execute the install scripts.This will generally be performed via the UNIX command chmod,for example:
  5. From an 'xterm' terminal window, execute the install.com script; in most cases, no argumentswill be required; it will be sufficient to make the install scripts executable, then run the install.com script. Note: Use thecommand ./install.com +help to generate a listof install command-line options.
    If a specific version of NMRPipe is desired use the +typeoption. For example to use the 64-bit Linux version (linux212_64) insteadof the default linux9 version:
  6. During the install procedure, one or more initialization script files will be created. These initialization scripts must be executedfrom within the '.cshrc' file in the user's home directory.They will establish the environment variables and executablepath which are needed to run the components of NMRPipe.The details about the initialization scripts and how to usethem in '.cshrc' will be listed in the file README_NMRPIPE_USERS which is also created during installation:
    • com/nmrInit.*.com (where * is linux9, mac, winxp, etc.)
    • dynamo/com/dynInit.com (if DYNAMO is installed)
    • com/font.com (font initialization, only needed for some systems).

  7. Once NMRPipe is installed, and the user's '.cshrc' filehas been adjusted appropriately, log out and log in again.Note that it is important to LOG OUT and LOG IN AGAIN after changingthe '.cshrc' file in order for the NMRPipe initialization to become active.

    After logging in again,activate an 'xterm' terminal window; it should then be possible to use the components of NMRPipe from the 'xterm' command-line.

In summary, the NMRPipe install procedure will look something like thisexample, where the home directory is /Users/frank:

NOTE well that in some cases, the install procedure may generate informational warning message or error messages, but still complete correctly. So, after the installation procedure, you should try TESTING THE INSTALLATION as below. After testing, you may want to make OTHER ADJUSTMENTS, also below.

As a convenience, the install.com procedure above can be adjustedto read the installation files from some other source location, for example from a CD-rom. This is done by the install.com +src option.In such a case, only the files 'install.com' and 'binval.com'need to be in the current directory. For example, if all of the installfiles are stored together on the CD-rom mounted as /media/cdrom andthe home directory is /Users/frank:

The installation procedure performs several software andgraphics tests to check the status of the installation. In somecases, these tests might issue warning messages even though theinstallation completes properly. In some cases, these testsmay fail in a way which interrupts the installation. If thishappens, you can suppress the post-installation software testswith the +nopost option, for example:

How to Install the Virtual Version of NMRPipe

  1. Get and Install VMware Player or VirtualBox. On PC hardware, the installation of these applications might require enabling virtualization options in the computer’s BIOS. Consult the application documentation for additional installation details.

    At the time of this writing, VMware Player and VirtualBox applications can be found here:

  2. Use the virtual application (VMWare Player or VirtualBox) to unpack the NMRPipe_CentOS6.5.ova file.The virtual machine is large (~ 5Gb) and will grow larger with use, so choose a suitable location, and keep in mind any automated backup procedures that might be in use on your computer.
  3. Run the NMRPipe Virtual Machine. Running the virtual machine is like turning on a PC – an operating system will start in the usual way, but in its own window.
  4. First Time Configuration. When you start the virtual machine for the first time, you might see a message that “long mode” for 64-bit systems will be disabled … this is expected, and not a problem. On PC hardware, you also might see a message asking that you first enable virtualization options (Intel VT-x) in your computer’s BIOS. And, you might see a message asking whether the Virtual Machine was moved or copied -- select the “Copied” option.
  5. Adjust BIOS Settings of the Computer. If needed, restart the computer, enter the BIOS setup during startup, and adjust the BIOS options to enable virtualization as needed.
  6. Log in to Virtual Linux. When the virtual machine starts, you can log in via the “nmruser” user account. The password for the 'nmruser' account is “nmrpipe” and the root password is also 'nmrpipe' (all lower case). Note also that the Virtual Machine can be configured so that it is possible to drag and drop files and folders between the Virtual Machine window and the Desktop of the host operating system.
  7. Use NMRPipe. Once you log in as “nmruser”, you can open a terminal window from the command panel at the top of the desk top. All the usual facilities of NMRPipe will be available.
  8. Configure the Virtual Machine environment and Linux. Consult the virtual application (VMWware or VirtualBox) documentation for details on configuring the virtual player for options such as use of removable devices, shared folders, printing, networking and software updates. You can configure the virtual Linux operating system as you would any other Linux installation. The root password for the virtual machine is “nmrpipe”.
  9. Exit the Virtual Machine. When you are done with a session, don’t exit the virtual machine by closing the window via the usual “X” icon – this is the equivalent of unplugging a PC while it is running, and might make the virtual machine unusable. We also recommend that you do not suspend the virtual machine. Instead, when exiting the virtual machine, be sure to shut it down via the system menus for “Shutdown”, just as you would for an actual PC.

What Users Should Do to Run NMRPipe

The tools and scripts of the NMRPipe system require use of the C-shell (/bin/csh) or the related T C-Shell (/bin/tcsh) as the user's default shell. Other shells, such as the Bourne Shell 'sh', or the 'bash' shell, will not be suitable. So, in order to use NMRPipe, users may have to reset their default shell accordingly. The UNIX command 'chsh' is commonly used to set the default shell; see the UNIX 'man chsh' help text for information on how to use this command on your system.

If the automated installation succeeded, users need only execute the initialization scripts that were created, by adding lines such as the following to their '.cshrc' file. These commands should preferably be added at the very end of the .cshrc file that the NMRPipe environment variables do not get reset accidentally by other application initialization commands. The details about these initialization scripts and how to usethem in '.cshrc' will be listed in the file README_NMRPIPE_USERSwhich is also created during installation.

As noted above,it is important to LOG OUT and LOG IN AGAIN after changingthe '.cshrc' file in order for the NMRPipe initialization to become active.

Also, regarding fonts: only use the 'font.com' script if the 'install.com' procedure orREADME_NMRPIPE_USERS file indicates thatit is needed for your system (mostly just SGI/IRIX systems, andsome versions of Linux):

Testing the Installation

In order to confirm that you can access the software correctly, try logging out first, then logging in and using these commands:

When using graphical programs in the NMRPipe system, note that all versions of the software expect use of a three-button scroll-wheel mouse or its equivalent.

Other Adjustments

NMRDRAW: after testing, you may wish to edit the script called 'nmrDraw'. The font size argument called '-scale' can be adjusted to suit user preferences for text in buttons, menus, etc. The font arguments '-type1' (regular font) and '-type2' (large font) will affect the size of text used for axes and labels, and for text editing windows. Possible values for '-scale', '-type1' and '-type2' include 'small', 'medium', 'large', and 'extraLarge'.

You can also adjust the nmrDraw window size to compensate for space on the screen used by window manager command panels, etc. Add the options '-xAdj' or '-yAdj' followed by a pixel count to reduce the nmrDraw window size by the given number of pixels (for example ' -xAdj 20').

Many NMRPipe applications are actually NMRWish TCL/TK scripts.These use a small number of common font definitions, which canbe adjusted by setting environment variables. Examples arelisted in the com/nmrInit.*.com file, and look like this:

Installation Problems

There are a few common difficulties with installation of NMRPipe, and these generally relate to the various environment variables required to use the software, or to the font settings used by the 'nmrDraw' program.

If there are install problems, besides reviewing the notes here, see also the next section for system-specific installation details.

Environment Variable Problems

The most common problem when first using the installation concerns the proper setting of environment variables. As described above, the environment variables needed by NMRPipe are established by the script 'com/nmrInit.*.com' created during the install procedure. This script sets environment variables and executable path for the C-Shell; it WILL NOT work for 'bash' or 'sh' shells.

The necessary initialization commands can be found in thefile README_NMRPIPE_USERS which is created during installation.

If the various NMRPipe environment variables are not defined properly, 'Undefined variable' or 'library' error messages will be generated, for example:

  • NMRTXT: Undefined variable
  • Error in startup script: can't read 'env(TCLPATH)': no such variable
  • can't find a usable init.tcl
  • error while loading shared libraries:libxview.so
  • error while loading shared libraries:libtcl8.4.so
  • error while loading shared libraries:libtk8.4.so
  • error while loading shared libraries:libBLT24.so
If there are problems running the software, look at the definitions in your version of 'com/nmrInit.*.com'. Then, use the 'printenv' command to see if the actual current environment is set up as required. In many cases, certain environment variables need by NMRPipe may get reset by other commands elsewhere in '.cshrc'. To avoid this problem, put the NMRPipe initialization commands at the end of the '.cshrc' file. As noted elsewhere, it is important to LOG OUT and LOG IN AGAIN after changingthe '.cshrc' file in order for the NMRPipe initialization to become active.

Font Problems in NMRDraw and NMRWish Applications

The 'nmrDraw' program uses certain 'lucida' and 'open look' fonts which are not available on all systems by default. The NMRPipe install procedure will attempt to test whether or not these fonts are available, and provide them if needed. The script 'com/font.com' is used to provide the fonts on systems which do not have them. This file is usually executed from a user's '.cshrc' file.

If the fonts cannot be found, 'nmrDraw' will issue error messages like this one:

If this happens, check the definitions in file 'com/font.com', and adjust them if needed.

Alternatively, on some Linux systems, such as Fedora Core 12, fonts needed by NMRDraw are not available by default, but can be downloaded and installed with the following command:

Certain Linux environments, such as Ubuntu, don't have 'Helvetica' andsome other common fonts. This can affect the appearanceof NMRWish-based graphical applications, such as the varian and brukercommands. Installing the following font package might help:

NMRDraw XView Notifier Errors

In some cases, 'nmrDraw' may display 'XView Notifier Error' or similar messages; this will generally not cause a problem in the actual use of the software. However, in many cases, these error messages can be suppressed by editing the 'nmrDraw' script to add or remove a font specification '-fn', for example,

Use the unix command 'which nmrDraw' to find the script on your installation.

NMRDraw Runs Slowly, or Not At All
Graphics Applications Such as TALOS+ Have Distorted Displays

Certain graphics environments may be problematic for nmrDrawand other graphical applications, such as the TALOS+ Ranachandran display.This can sometimes depend on the window manager (the program that manages the graphical desktop of thecomputer) or the color settings (such as 8-bit color or 24-bit color).For example, certain versions of the Linux Gnome Desktop graphicsenvironment using 32-bit color might cause nmrDraw to run slowlyor not at all. Such problems can be often be fixed by adjusting thecolor settings (24-bit color is most common), by using a different windowmanager (such as Linux KDE instead of Gnome), or by updating the displaydrivers. In the most difficult cases, we have sometimes resortedto changing graphics hardware ... in the experience of NMRPipe's author,NVidia graphics hardware (rather than Radeon or Intel) seems to be thebest choice for NMRPipe.

Recently, some versions of Linux include special tools for enteringAsian language text, such as SCIM. Some of these 'Input Method' toolsmay cause problems with NMRDraw and other graphical programs.If you have problems on Linux systems entering text into graphicsprograms or using graphical menus, etc, find and disable any specialinput methods such as SCIM that might be running.

On Mac OS X, NMRDraw Will Not Run, or Freezes

See the Mac OS X installation notes below for details on configuringsoftware and settings for nmrDraw.

All of the NMRPipe Programs Fail to Run

A particular installation of NMRPipe might not be compatible with allversions of a given operating system. For example, the currentMac OS X version of NMRPipe will generally require a system with MacOS X version 10.4 or higher.In these cases, none of the programs in the NMRPipe system will workunless the operating system is upgraded appropriately.

In the case of current Linux versions, NMRPipe requires 32-bit compatibilitylibraries when run on 64-bit hardware. If these libraries are notinstalled, every NMRPipe program will issue an error messages such ascommand not found even though the program is availableon the executable path and the NMRPipe environment variables are set properly. In these cases, use the appropriate commands to install 32-bitlibraries etc. as needed -- the details will depend on your versionof Linux, and might be something like one of the following:
