Installation ------------ 1) Unpack the distribution in an empty directory: gunzip -c shiftz.tar.gz | tar -xvf - 2) change directory into the "src" subdirectory after unpacking the distribution. cd src 3) Type "make" 4) copy the binary "shiftz" in "src" directory to /usr/local/bin for system-wide or to $HOMR/bin for local installation. 5) copy the directory "dbase" and everything in it to /usr/local/lib/shiftz for system-wide installation or to $HOME/shitfz/lib for local installation. 4) copy the resource file found in the directory "rc" to user's home directory and turn it into a hidden file: cp rc/shiftzrc ~username/.shiftzrc 5) Edit this hidden resource file so that it points to the location of the dbase installed in step 3 above. For example: DBASE=/usr/local/lib/shiftz-1.0/dbase if the installation is system-wide 6) Installation complete. Run "shiftz" to predict chemical shifts using dihedral angle data.
