° | The command line parameters |
You can get a list of all supported command line parameters by running YASARA with the
-help option.
| -con | Run YASARA in interactive console mode |
| -txt | Run YASARA in plain text mode |
| -upd | Update simulation parameters, recompile the force fields |
| Filename.??? | Load and display the specified PDB file |
| Filename.log | Record all console output to Filename.log |
| Filename.mcr Var=X | Execute the specified macro , optionally setting 'Var' to X. |
| Filename.sce | Load and display the specified SCE file |
| Filename.yob | Load and display the specified YOB file |
| Filename.py Req | Execute the specified Python plugin with request 'Req' |
| -norun | Tell the installer not to run YASARA directly |
When you specify a macro to run as
'Filename.mcr' it is sometimes helpful to set certain variables, like the MacroTarget. The following example sets variables
'a' to 5 and 'MacroTarget' to '/home/work/1crn.pdb':
yasara MyMacro.mcr a=5 "MacroTarget='/home/work/1crn.pdb'" or Yasara.exe MyMacro.mcr a=5 "MacroTarget='/home/work/1crn.pdb'"Note the double quotes around the last parameter, they prevent the operating system from removing the single quotes before passing the parameter to YASARA.
In case you are working with Windows and have not used command line parameters before,
there are two ways of passing these parameters to a program:
- Create a shortcut to yasara.exe, right-click on the shortcut, and select properties. Search for the 'Target input box' containing the path to yasara.exe, e.g. "C:\Program Files\yasara\yasara.exe". Then type the command line parameters right after this path (outside the quotes).
- Open an MSDOS command prompt, CD to the yasara directory and type 'yasara' followed
by the command line parameters, e.g.
yasara -upd
