Download Instructions for HKL Package

Executables of all programs can be obtained from our server hkl.hkl-xray.com. To download the programs, type the following instructions:

ftp hkl.hkl-xray.com

login: hklftp

password: The password can be obtained through the automatic password system (established users only) or by contacting us via e-mail.

If you have successfully connected to our server you may type:

ftp> ls

and you'll find directory ver1.98.2 with the following sub-directories:

Linux : HKL_Linux_ver_1.98.2.tar.Z and individual_programs (not tarred and not compressed)

SGI : HKL_SGI_ver_1.98.2.tar.Z  and individ_programs

*OSF_DigitalUnix : Due to extinction of this OS, the last available version of HKL for OSF is 1.97.9

Each xxx.tar.Z file contains compressed and 'tarred' executables for corresponding operating system, while 'individual_programs' directory contains individual executables - not tarred and not compressed.

Remember, you have to use binary mode to transfer these files.

After you've transferred files, you have to uncompress them using the command:

uncompress file-name.tar.Z

for example:

uncompress HKL_Linux_ver_1.98.2.tar.Z

and 'untar' the file using the command:

tar -xvf file-name.tar

for example:

tar -xvf  HKL_Linux_ver_1.98.2.tar

You should have all the programs' executables now. 

access_prod
denzo
denzobig
scalepack
scalepack16m
scalepack8m
scalepacklvirus
scalepackmanyframes
scalepackmf6500
scalepacknorm
scalepackribo
scalepackvirus
xdisp

Typically the executables are placed in the

/usr/local/bin

directory. You need system privileges to do so. Additionally the license key file, cr_info, needs to be present in the

/usr/local/lib

directory in order for the HKL programs to run. To obtain the license key, you need to run the access_prod program on each computer that you plan to use for running any of the HKL programs. The access_prod is distributed together with denzo, scalepack, and xdisp executables.
