1. Get the latest version of your C and C++ compilers.
2. Check that you have CMake version 2.8.8 or later.
3. Install Gromacs. You can follow this guide to install Gromacs.
4. Install Django. You can use pip to install Django.

    pip install django

    You can see this guide for a detail information.

5. Install Apache2 and mod_wsgi.

    sudo apt-get install apache2

    sudo apt-get install sqlite3

Modify Gromacs

You need to modify the souce code and rebuild Gromacs, so that Gromacs can write the output data to shared memory where MSanalysis can read from.

1. Replace /path/to/gromacs/src/gromacs/mdlib/mdoutf.cpp by this file: mdoutf.cpp
2. Rebuild Gromacs.

    cd /path/to/gromacs/build/
    make
    make install
    source /usr/local/gromacs/bin/GMXRC
