Download PROMALS3D

Hi all,

I would like to download PROMALS3D locally. When running 'python install.py' as mentioned in http://prodata.swmed.edu/promals3d/info/readme.html, I obtain the following error : os.chmod("runpsipred1", 0755)

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'runpsipred1'

I have followed the previous steps of the read me as asked. I'm using Ubuntu on Windows 11.

Could someone help me figuring this error out?

Thanks a lot, Charlotte

Looks like accessory programs needed for PROMALS3D are not automatically installed. This could be because you are running Ubuntu on windows (which is likely the latest distro). You may need to try an install these programs (psipred - LINK) manually. psipred is relatively old and depends on original blast program which has also been deprecated for some time.

Perhaps someone with knowledge of alternate programs may be by to provide additional insight.

This has been solved by downloading a docker image of PROMALS3D.
