This is a snapshot of current development branch, which will be used for 1.1.0 and further 1.x releases
Requirements:
- any 32 bit Linux distribution released in latest 5-7 years (including RHEL 5 and CentOS 5)
- any x86-compatible CPU (Pentium 3 was tested; however, Intel 80386 may not work
- working X.org
- OpenGL libraries (libGL and libGLU from Mesa or vendor of your graphics card)
If you are on x86_64 you can either install all 32-bit dependencies, or wait until another package will be
prepared
To install Avogadro, download the file
http://avogadro.openmolecules.net/nightly/linux/unstable/Avogadro-1.1-trunk-Linux-x86-Install
than make it executable (chmod +x Avogadro-1.1-trunk-Linux-x86-Install),
and run. Intuitive GUI installer will appear. Enjoy!
Please, report if you find any problems with Avogadro or installer
Installer will create a launcher on your desktop. To run Avogadro from command line, use avogadro.sh
in the installation directory, not avogadro executable in bin/
There is a configuration file avogadro.config in the installation root. Probably you should not change anything
except “Style” option.
If Avogadro does not start, you can run avogadro-check or avogadro-check-gui from installation root - they
will show what libraries were not found. Anyway, please report me about the issue before trying to debug
anything.
