How to install EMAN2/SPARX
The easiest way of installing EMAN2/SPARX is to use the binary distribution, which is also strongly recommended. Please follow installation instructions available on SPHIRE page http://sphire.mpg.de/wiki/doku.php?id=downloads:sphire_beta_20170602&redirect=1.
If you are interested in knowing the details of implementation or plan to write/revise low-level C++ codes, you may also build SPARX from the source code, but it will be considerably more difficult.
