This is why I bought the mac book amateur.

(I never get any credit for the comments I manage to refrain from
making.)

It is in the "unstable" branch, which loosely translated, means
"current enough to be useful."

http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/cctbx

You might find it much easier, however, simply to download and install
phenix, which is a superset of this. You have to register on the
phenix website. http://www.phenix-online.org/

cctbx is the subset of stuff that is open-source.

Some routers seem to prevent the updating. For example, my university-
wide generic wireless does this to me. The only thing I can really
recommend is to find a more permissive/useful internet hookup.

The only reason to use this is for convenience. I do it because I work
at a do-it-yourself university, so it is easiest for me to roll my
own, so to speak (to put it in Santa Cruz terminology). So if it is
inconvenient, there are many other options. For example, ccp4
distributes its own official binaries.

I just made the instructions (hopefully) better about 15 hours ago.
