The cif-tools suite of programs are tools you can use to examine and manipulate mmCIF and PDB files.

The tools are based on libcif++ and the code is written in modern C++ so you need a compiler capable of handling C++17 code.

Make sure you install libcif++ first before building. You will also need to install libcfp.

After that, building should be as easy as typing:

git clone https://github.com/PDB-REDO/cif-tools.git cd cif-tools mkdir build cd build cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release cmake --build . cmake --install .
