You have at least 2 options there:

1. If you just want to see a plot, you can use VMD's ramaplot tool:
    Extensions => Analysis => Ramachadran Plot.
    There you can also generate a 3D histogram of the phi/psi map, but I
was never able to save the data.

2. If you want the data, then you can use ptraj to generate files with
the angles you need. For example, for alanine dipeptide, we could use:

    trajin ala-di.crd
    dihedral phi :1.C :2.N :2.CA :2.C out PHI.DAT
    dihedral psi :2.N :2.CA :2.C :3.N out PSI.DAT

    The atom definitions here should give you the phi/psi angles for
alanine dipeptide.

HTH,

Gustavo.
