1. Download the latest cctbx binaries from here:

   Download CCTBX

   Then extract the folder to your user directory (eg. C:\Users\<user_name>\ or /home/<user_name>/)

   This is needed to simulate diffraction profiles from .cif crystal files.

2. Download the latest executable from:

   https://github.com/bcolsen/diffraction-ring-profiler/releases

3. Double click the executable

1. Download the latest cctbx binaries from here:

   Download CCTBX

   Then extract the folder to your user directory (eg. C:\Users\<user_name>\ or /home/<user_name>/)

2. Install the Anaconda Python 3.6 Distribution:(It's big(450mb) but it's full of great science tools)

   Download Anaconda

3. Open a terminal(Windows use the "Anaconda Prompt") and type:

   conda install wxpython
   

4. Download the latest source from:

   https://github.com/bcolsen/diffraction-ring-profiler/releases

5. Extract the source to your user directory (eg. C:\Users\<user_name>\ or /home/<user_name>/).

6. Change to that directory in the terminal and run:

   python diffraction_ring_profiler.py
   

$ sudo apt-get install python3 python3-matplotlib python3-scipy python3-numpy python3-imaging
$ sudo pip3 install wxpython

• python >= 3.4
• matplotlib >= 2.0
