Welcome to the forum @jiahaohe .
If the existing CryoSPARC installation is still in active use, you need to follow the some precautions when installing and operating a second CryoSPARC instance:
The individual CryoSPARC instances need to have

  • distinct, non overlapping port ranges. Failure to specify a distinct (offset by at least 10 from the CRYOSPARC_BASE_PORT of any CryoSPARC instance already running on the computer) using the
    cryosparc_master/install.sh --port parameter may cause installation using the default port range, which may overlap with the port range of the older installation and lead to data corruption.
  • distinct license IDs
  • distinct database directory paths
    (--dbpath parameter)
  • distinct, non-overlapping sets of CryoSPARC project directories

Failure in following these precautions may lead to CryoSPARC malfunction and data corruption.
