Required Dependencies on Linux and Mac OS X

• Tkinter and
• Numpy

sudo apt-get install python-tk python-numpy

---

Installing on Linux

• Navigate to plugins > install
• Locate the downloaded gyration_tensor.py file in the dialogbox and select 'OK'
• Quit and Restart 'pymol'

---

Usage

• Launch PyMOL
• Navigate to Plugins > Contact Map Visualizer in PyMOL
• When the first dialog box pops up, select PDB file and select 'OK'.
