Maintained installations at facilities
This page aims to be an up-to-date directory of how to get access to CrystFEL where it is installed at facilities. Many of these installations are manintained by the facility staff rather than the CrystFEL authors, so the punctuality of updates will vary. Please get in touch if you have updates to any of the information here!
Click your facility in the list below for more details.
DESY and European XFEL (Maxwell HPC system)
Installations of the most recent few CrystFEL versions are maintained under /software/crystfel. To get access, load the "maxwell" module and then "crystfel/<version>". For example:
$ module load maxwell crystfel/0.11.0
A development version is available as crystfel/0-devel:
$ module load maxwell crystfel/0-devel
These versions include Xgandalf, Pinkindexer and MOSFLM. They use HDF5 1.12 and should therefore be compatible with European XFEL virtual dataset (VDS) files.
Simply running "module load maxwell crystfel" will give you the latest stable version.
The installations under /gpfs/cfel/group/cxi/common/public/development/crystfel and /opt/crystfel are deprecated and no longer updated. Use module load maxwell crystfel/0-devel instead.
For information about which Slurm partition to use, see the Maxwell documentation.
SLAC/LCLS (SLAC Shared Science Data Facility)
An installation of CrystFEL is available, maintained by us, on the SLAC Shared Science Data Facility (S3DF). First log in to one of the interactive nodes, as described in the S3DF documentation. Next, set up your environment as follows:
$ export MODULEPATH=$MODULEPATH:/sdf/group/lcls/ds/tools/crystfel/modulefiles
Then you can load the module for the version you want. For example:
$ module load crystfel/0.11.0
Or, for the latest development version (updated nightly):
$ module load crystfel/0-devel
Older versions of CrystFEL are available on the old 'psana' computing system, but they are no longer supported.
For information about Slurm parameters, see the PCDS documentation on running at S3DF.
Diamond Light Source
CrystFEL is available via modules. To get the latest version, simply run:
$ module load crystfel
Older versions are available as well:
$ module avail crystfel crystfel/0.10.0(default) crystfel/0.7.0 crystfel/0.9.0 crystfel/0.6.3 crystfel/0.8.0 crystfel/0.9.1
ESRF (European Synchrotron Radiation Facility)
CrystFEL is available on the NICE system. Once logged in, simply run:
$ module load crystfel
A few different versions are available:
crystfel/0.10.1 crystfel/0.10.2 crystfel/0.11.0 crystfel/dev
A good way to access the system is through VISA. CrystFEL will be accessible inside your VISA instance, but it's better to connect from there to rnice.
SACLA HPC system
CrystFEL is provided as part of the SACLA SFX data analysis environment maintained by Takanori Nakane:
$ source ~sacla_sfx_app/setup.sh
SBGrid Consortium laboratories
CrystFEL is installed and supported at SBGrid Consortium laboratories.
Paul Scherrer Institut (SwissFEL, SLS)
CrystFEL is included in the MX software environment. To get access:
$ source /etc/scripts/mx_fel.sh
There are also modules available for individual CrystFEL versions, for example:
$ module load crystfel/0.9.1 $ module load crystfel/0.9.1-pink
Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL-XFEL, PLS-II)
CrystFEL is available on the KISTI system at PAL. Further information here.
