Prerequisites for using visualCMAT

All steps of the visualCMAT web-server protocol are executed entirely on the server side. You do not need any specific software on your side. The Analysis section of the Results page offers interactive content for analysis of the visualCMAT annotation. Interactivity is implemented in HTML5 and therefore no plugins nor Java are required. The only prerequisite for viewing the Analysis section of the Results page is a HTML5-compatible web-browser. Current versions of all major browsers support HTML5 as the default standard. The server has been successfully tested with:

• Google Chrome;
• Mozilla Firefox;
• KDE Konqueror;
• Microsoft Edge.

Please note that we have had compatibility issues with the Microsoft Internet Explorer and therefore this browser is currently not supported by the visualCMAT web-server. The PyMol molecular graphics engine will be required to operate the visualCMAT annotation file on a local computer. PyMol can be installed from a Linux repository (e.g., in openSuSE you should try the "zypper in pymol" command), compiled from sources (recommended for advanced users only) or purchased from the distributor Schrödinger LLC (external link). Alternatively, the results of the visualCMAT can be operated on-line using the built-in interactive analysis tools. Interactivity is implemented in HTML5 and therefore no plugins nor Java are required.
