How to Access CryoSPARC Live

CryoSPARC Live is automatically installed alongside CryoSPARC.

You must have first installed CryoSPARC: How to Download, Install and Configure. CryoSPARC Live is installed alongside CryoSPARC without any extra steps, for version v3.0+.

Access CryoSPARC Live (v4.0+)

As of CryoSPARC v4.0.0, CryoSPARC Live is integrated directly within the main interface and does not require access through a separate port. To access All Live Sessions, click on the CryoSPARC Live icon on the navigation bar.

Access CryoSPARC Live (≤v3.3)

Once you start the CryoSPARC instance, the CryoSPARC Live web application is hosted on CRYOSPARC_BASE_PORT + 6.

In order to find CRYOSPARC_BASE_PORT, run the command cryosparcm status.

cryosparcm status

In this example, the base port is 61000 and so from the master node, use a web browser to access CryoSPARC Live at http://localhost:61006

From other machines on the network, use the hostname of the master node to access CryoSPARC Live, in this example at http://uoft:61006
