Linux Option 1: Standalone Executables.

These builds are easy to install (do not requi re "root" privileges) and are broadly compatible. 1. Download the version appropriate for your system: pymol-0_99rc6-bin-linux-x86-glibc23.tgz 2. Extract the archive tar -zxf pymol-0_99rc1-bin-linux-x86-glibc23.tgz to create a "pymol" directory 3. Run the setup script from within the new directory cd pymol ./setup.sh 4. Then test-launch PyMOL as ./pymol 5. Optional: copy or link "./pymol" to an appropriate location in your path. ln -s $PWD/pymol $HOME/bin/pymol Option 2: RPM Packages These require "root" privileges to install and should gen erally be avoided with PyMOL because they prevent you from being able to run mul tiple versions on a single machine. However, if you absolutely need PyMOL integr ated with your system Python interpreter, then current PyMOL Support-level Subsc ribers may request such builds by emailing support@delsci.com. Please specify wh at Linux distribution you would like the RPM for. If we receive multiple indepen dent requests, and if we have access to that flavor of Linux, then we will provi de a suitable RPM build. Otherwise, in such cases, we recommend that you compile and install PyMOL from source code via Python distutils.
