#Dssp installation If you are using Ubuntu 20.04, you can install dssp by the following command .. code:: bash

sudo apt-get install dssp

Otherwise, you can install it from the source by the following commands. Please note that default dssp in Ubuntu 22.04 is not working properly. .. code:: bash

wget https://github.com/cmbi/dssp/archive/refs/heads/master.zip && unzip -o master.zip && cd dssp-master/ && ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make && sudo make install && sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/mkdssp /usr/local/bin/dssp && cd ../ && sudo rm -rf dssp-master/ && sudo rm -f master.zip

#HHSUITE installation .. code:: bash

wget https://github.com/soedinglab/hh-suite/releases/download/v3.3.0/hhsuite-3.3.0-AVX2-Linux.tar.gz && mkdir hhsuite && mv hhsuite-3.3.0-AVX2-Linux.tar.gz hhsuite/ && cd hhsuite && tar xvfz hhsuite-3.3.0-AVX2-Linux.tar.gz && rm -f hhsuite-3.3.0-AVX2-Linux.tar.gz

#Add it to your path permanently inside .bashrc or .profile or .bash_profile Check the location of hhsuite folder and add it to your path In my case it was in /home/tekpinar/research/lcqb folder. Therefore, I added the following line to my .profile file. PATH=”/home/tekpinar/research/lcqb/hhsuite/bin:/home/tekpinar/research/lcqb/hhsuite/scripts:$PATH”

Then source ~/.profile

#

cd ESGEMME

#Download ESGEMME from http://gitlab.lcqb.upmc.fr/tekpinar/ESGEMME repository and go inside the ESGEMME folder.! .. code:: bash

cd ESGEMME

pip3 install -e . &&\
cd ../

#Installing the required R packages .. code:: bash

sudo Rscript -e ‘install.packages(“seqinr”, repos=”http://cran.us.r-project.org”, dependencies=TRUE)’

#Installing secondary programs such as ev_couplings to obtain MSA files.

wget https://github.com/debbiemarkslab/plmc/archive/refs/heads/master.zip && \
unzip -o master.zip && \
cd plmc-master && \
