To use it you need java to be installed. From the command line type:
java -jar rnartistcore-0.4.6-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
If you see the usage message, it works.
The easiest way to start is to plot an RNA 2D from a database entry.
To plot the 12S ribosomal RNA, mitochondrial from RNACentral
java -jar rnartistcore-0.4.6-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar -e URS00000CFF65 --with-svg -o /path/to/your/favorite/folder
To plot all the members of the GOLLD RNA family from Rfam
java -jar rnartistcore-0.4.6-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar -e RF02032 --with-svg -o /path/to/your/favorite/folder
To plot the 3D structure of Oceanobacillus iheyensis group II intron from PDB
java -jar rnartistcore-0.4.6-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar -e 4E8K --with-svg -o /path/to/your/favorite/folder
Once the computing done, go to to your favorite folder and open the SVG file. You will also find an RNArtistCore script (a file with a kts suffix). You can modify it with your favorite editor to change the theme of your 2D. Once the changes saved, re-run your script with:
java -jar rnartistcore-0.4.6-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar /path/to/your/favorite/folder/your_script.kts
If you have some local files describing an RNA 2D or 3D (Bpseq, Vienna, CT, Stockholm, PDB formats), you can plot them with:
java -jar rnartistcore-0.4.6-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar -f /path/to/your/structural_file
Once the computing done, go to the folder containing your structural file and open the SVG file. You will also find an RNArtistCore script (a file with a kts suffix). You can modify it with your favorite editor to change the theme of your 2D. Once the changes saved, re-run your script with:
java -jar rnartistcore-0.4.6-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar /path/to/your_script.kts
