Hi,
I use YASARA (version 17.8.15) on windows 10 and recently I am trying to install FoldX plugin on YASARA. Here is what I did:
1. Download YASARA plugin for windows (and the executable and rotabase file) from FoldX website, unzip, copy and paste all files into YASARA\plg folder.
2. Install python from YASARA help>install menu.
3. Load a random PDB into YASARA, and click Analyze>FoldX>Configure Plugin, select the location of foldx.exe and rotabase.txt.
4. Run Analyze>Foldx>Repair object, and it shows the following error message:
"Cannot read FoldX output. Make sure you have set the correct FoldX file locations in Analyze > FoldX > Configure plugin".
I have checked the "foldx.cnf" file to make sure the directories of foldx.exe and rotabase.txt is correct. I also tried uninstall and install python again but it didn't work, still showing the same error message.
If anyone knows any possible solutions, please let me know. I am very appreciated for your help. Thanks!
Xingchen Chen,
Did you install python 2 or python 3? Although YASARA can run using either version, I think that FoldX still uses only python 2.
Rudy J Richardson Thanks for reply. I tried uninstalled and reinstalled python 2, the problem still exists.
Xingchen Chen, The problem might be a mismatch between your YASARA version and the FoldX version. You are using a rather old version of YASARA. The current version is 20.12.24.
In addition, which version of FoldX are you using? The latest available versions are version 4 and version 5.
I have not used FoldX of the YASARA plugin for FoldX for some time. However, just now I downloaded version 5 from the FoldX site and installed it in YASARA. It worked just fine. However, I am using the Linux version of YASARA and the latest version number (20.12.24).
incidentally, I was also very glad to see that the latest version of FoldX has been upgraded to work with either Python 3 or Python 2. I am using the Anaconda distribution of Python 3, which worked as intended with FoldX 5.
Good luck with getting FoldX to work for you.
