What other software and/or data components should I install to make use of functionality I want to access?

Solution

Starting with the 2023.1 release, the CSD Portfolio now offers more choice on what software and/or data components you can choose to install.

While we recommend installing all software and data that your licence allows you to use, the following table can be used as a guide for what software and data is used by other components of the suite.

Entries in parentheses are optional components that can be utilised by that program and/or functionality, but are not required.

* The CSD Python API requires GOLD to be installed to use the Docking module. Data is optional but will be required by some functionality.
** The IsoStar client obtains scatterplot and CSD/PDB data from the IsoStar Server that it is configured to use; the server will require the CSD data to be available to it to enable hyperlinking. The IsoStar server is available via https://isostar.ccdc.cam.ac.uk, or via a local install of the IsoStar server at your organisation
