YASARA View

YASARA (Yet Another Scientific Artificial Reality Application) is a program for molecular graphics, modeling and simulation. To maximize performance, the critical parts have been programmed in MMX/3DNow!/SSE assembler code. Using the built-in macro language, you can program almost anything, from automatic data analysis to complex 3D animations. YASARA's functionality can be accessed from Python scripts and expanded with Python plugins.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows, MacOSX (Intel) or Linux, CPU with 3DNow! (AMD Athlon/Duron etc.) or SSE (Pentium III/Celeron 533MHz etc.), 256 MB ram, and very important: OpenGL graphics drivers should be up to date.

INSTALLATION: While unpacking the ZIP archive, the new folder 'YASARA.app' is created. In MacOSX, a double-click on this folder is sufficient to run YASARA. Windows users have to start the application YASARA.app\yasara\Yasara.exe, Linux users start YASARA.app/yasara/yasara. (Create a desktop shortcut for convenience). The YASARA.app folder can be moved at all times, also to USB sticks to create your own mobile molecular modeling laboratory. Just delete the YASARA.app folder to uninstall.

Having started YASARA, click 'Help > Play help movie > Working with YASARA' to see how YASARA works.

DOCUMENTATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING: Open the file YASARA.app/yasara/doc/index.html in your web browser. The first chapter 'Essentials' contains everything you need to know. The known problems and solutions can be found in the last chapter 'Troubleshooting'.

SUPPORT AND LATEST VERSION: about once a week, a new YASARA version with more features and improvements is released. To obtain these updates, please download your free personalized YASARA View from www.YASARA.org/viewdl . This step also enables free technical support in case of problems (but please check the 'Troubleshooting' chapter in the documentation first).
