ARIA Mac OS
For the roles defined in WAI-ARIA it is expected that browsers expose the role values via an accessibility API, on the Apple OS X platform the information is exposed using the Mac OS X Accessibility Protocol. Use of an Accessibility API means that Assistive Technology can access the role information ARIA provides employing the same methods they use to access role information of native HTML and desktop controls.

Therefore an important piece of the ARIA support puzzle on a MAC OS is the support browsers have for exposing ARIA roles using the The Mac OS X Accessibility Protocol.
The study ARIA role tests on MAC provides tests of the major browsers available for MAC OS X.
ARIA role tests on MAC – Safari 4 beta Firefox 3 (minefield) & Opera 10 Alpha – Summary
WAI-ARIA has 59 possible role values (excluding abstract roles):
- Firefox (Minefield) 3.2a1pre exposes 0 role values correctly via the MAC accessibility API
- Opera 10 Alpha exposes 14 role values correctly via the MAC accessibility API
- Safari 4 Beta exposes 15 role values correctly via The MAC accessibility API
Notes:
The inital motivation for collecting this data was a post by Roger Johansson – Safari 4 public beta with WAI-ARIA support. Or not?, which prompted me to start looking more at how ARIA is supported by Safari on MAC. (thanks Roger!) I was also mindful of the use of such information in general terms for helping to work out which bit of the implementation is broken; Is it my code or the browser or the assistive tech that is not working as it should? Furthermore as part of my work for the W3C Protocols and Formats Working Group, who are responsible for the WAI ARIA specification, I thought this information would be a useful resource.
Yesterday’s post WAI-ARIA role support – How the browsers stack up lead to some unfortunate statements being made about the relative priorities of browser vendors when it comes to accessibility. While I do think when it comes to accessibility and support for WAI ARIA in particular, Mozilla leads the pack and Microsoft is doing good work (some may think suprisingly), all browser vendors are making an effort to support WAI ARIA and in the process improving the general accessibility of their browsers and web content to Assistive Technology.
In regards to Google chrome: I wrote about the Accessibility of Google Chrome when it was first released, which I think was and still is underwhelming, but Jonas Klink from Google has been doing some great work , details of which can be found in the Chrome Accessibility Design and Implementation Roadmap. It would be nice though, to see Google put more resources into Chrome accessibility…
So all in all we are moving in the right direction, while some are moving slower than others, they are still moving.
This page describes the installation procedure for version 2.3 of ARIA. For version 2.2, see this page.
System requirements
ARIA has been extensively tested on different Linux environments (RedHat, Centos, SuSE), and also runs on SGI and Mac OS X. The current version of ARIA supports only CNS as structure calculation engine. However, we plan to support other programs such as CYANA and XPLOR-NIH. Users are welcome to participate to these extensions: If you want to contribute to these efforts, please contact Michael Nilges.
Required software packages
ARIA requires the following third party software packages:
CNS 1.1 or 1.21 (not 1.3)
Python 2.4 or later
NumPy 1.0 or later
Tcl/Tk 8.3 or later
Tix 8.1.4 or later
- CCPN Analysis 2.0.7 or later (Optional)
Matplotlib (Optional)
CNS
Academic users can obtain a free license for CNS from the CNS web site at http://cns.csb.yale.edu. Commercial users need to purchase a CNX license from Accelrys (MSI). In order to compile CNS with the ARIA extensions, please do the following:
The ARIA fortran sources are located in the subdirectory ./cns/src of the distribution (see section 'Installing and running ARIA' below). Please copy all the files to the directory cns_solve_1.1/source of the unpacked cns_solve distribution (this will overwrite some files which is okay).
Edit the file 'cns_solve_env' in the directory cns_solve_1.1 to define the location of the CNSsolve directory.
Go to directory cns_solve_1.1 and type 'make install'. This should start the compilation process.
Note for Mac OS X: CNS universal binaries are available from Logan Donaldson' Lab. But the specific aria routines (such as vean statements) are not running on MacIntel.
Python
The latest version of Python can be downloaded from the Python homepage at http://www.python.org. Go to the 'download' section and download the source tar-ball.The installation is straight forward for most UNIX systems (LINUX in particular). Follow the installation notes of the Python distribution and make sure that Tkinter support is enabled.
Note: In order to install Python with Tcl/Tk support, please make sure that both libraries are installed on your system. If any of the libraries is missing, please check and install the missing components prior to the installtion of Python.
Numpy
Since maintenance has ceased for Numeric Python, ARIA 2.3 now only supports NumPy module.
Aria Mac Os X
The Python Numpy extension is obtainable from SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/
. Go to 'Download Numerical Python' and download the package 'Numpy'. Version 1.0 or later is required for ARIA 2.3. For installation, please follow instructions provided by the NumPy distribution.
Note: See here for a detail explanation on installing Numeric with ATLAS/LAPACK
CCPN distribution version 2
In order to use the CCPN data model for import/export or data conversion, you also need to install the CCPN data model, and the CCPNMR Analysis software in case you want to export restraint lists, NOE assignments, and analyses of the generated structures, e.g. the result of the violation analysis. The complete CCPN distribution including the API, the FormatConverter, and CCPNMR Analysis can be obtained at http://www.ccpn.ac.uk/ccpn/software/downloads-v2/.
Matplotlib
Matplotlib is a python 2D plotting library. The mathplotlib library can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib
. Download the package 'matplotlib' and follow the installation instructions.
Tcl/Tk and Tix
The Tcl/Tk libraries are obtainable from http://www.tcl.tk. The Tix (Tk Interface eXtension) graphics library provides high-level widgets, extending the standard capabilities of Tk widgets. The latest Tix library can be obtained from SourceForge at http://tix.sourceforge.net. Installing Tix also requires the sources of Tcl/Tk. Make sure that the Tcl/Tk version used during Tix installation matches the version installed on your system (if Python with Tkinter support is already installed, you can check the Tk version linked with Python by using the script 'check.py'). Please consult the installation notes for further instructions.

Installing and running ARIA
In order to install ARIA, unpack the ARIA distribution by using the following command:
This creates the directory tree.
- You find the source code of ARIA in the directory ./src of the distribution, Python modules are located in ./src/py and /src/py/gui.
- The CNS protocols implementing, e.g., the simulated annealing protocol used to calculate a structure, are stored in ./cns/protocols. CNS analysis protocols can be found in the sub-directory, ./cns/protocols/analysis.
- A working example can be found in ./example
Testing the software environment
Python is part of the default installtion of many modern LINUX distributions. If Python is already installed on your system, you can check whether your installation meets all of the requirements for running ARIA by executing the script 'check.py' which is located in the root directory of the ARIA distribution:
The script checks the Python version, whether the Numeric package and Tkinter/Tix is installed. Please note, that the script cannot check whether Tcl/Tk/Tix is working properly.
Environment variables
For convenience we suggest adding the following lines to your login script:
csh; edit '.cshrc'
bash; edit '.bashrc'
zsh; edit '.zshrc'
