Crystals Manual On-line and Help/Instructions/FAQ

The Instruction and LISTs are in the crystals manual. There is a pro-forma definition, showing all the directives and parameters. The keywords are only shown in the body of the text.


For performing 3D Fourier electron density map viewing, also obtain and install the MarchingCubes for Windows program by Michal Husak.


  • Run the setup.exe file


  • Agree to the licence terms and when prompted, install into either the default or your preferred subdirectory.


  • Create Programs Icons if this is agreeable to you.


  • Crystals will then install all the files


  • Crystals will then prompt whether you wish to have the Crystals executable directory as part of the path. (if you approve of this, you will be able to bring up Crystals from a DOS window or command line)


  • Crystals will then give a message when it has finished and you are now ready to use the Crystals single crystal suite.
