The easiest way to install TINKER and Force Field Explorer on your computer is to download the self-extracting installation kit for your machine type. Kits for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X are available from the links provided below on this web page. These installation packages are quite large (25-55Mb), so make sure you have a stable and fast connection before attempting to download. Note that the Mac OS X kit requires a 10.3 (Panther) system, and Mac users must obtain from Apple and install the Java3D package prior to running TINKER with FFE.

The TINKER executables supplied with the installation kits are intended for use via the Force Field Explorer GUI. These executables have been linked against Java libraries needed for communication between TINKER and FFE. It is possible to run the kit executables stand-alone from the command line, but various Java related environment variables that are normally setup automatically by FFE must be provided manually. For those who do not wish to use the GUI and need only the standard options, we provide sets of prebuilt command line executables for Linux, Windows and Macintosh. See the README files in the command line executable directories.

If you choose not to use the installation kits, you will still need to have a copy of the full distribution containing parameter sets, examples, benchmarks, test files, documentation, source code and instructions for building the package on a variety of machine types. The full distribution is available for download via the links below in two different compressed formats (GNU gzip and Windows ZIP). Please see the README files in the individual directories.
