Requirements

Compiler

oxDNA compilation has been thoroughly tested with gcc >= 4.1.x and icpc >= 10. Note that compiling with gcc 4.6.x rather than with gcc 4.1.x results in a significant increase in performances.

Operative system

oxDNA has been tested on Linux (kernel >= 2.6.x) and Mac Os X. Since it is written in ANSI c++, it should also work on other OSes, provided that the makefile is changed accordingly.

Dependencies

oxDNA does not depend on any external library apart from the standard c++ library and therefore is completely self-contained.

Download

The source package can be downloaded here.

Installation

To install the program, untar oxDNA.tar.gz and enter the oxDNA directory. Compile the code with

make

See Documentation for make options. If you want to compile oxDNA with the Intel C++ compiler (icpc) use

make intel=1

The process will generate an oxDNA executable in the Release directory.
