Revision as of 11:47, 11 June 2018

This page describes how to install PyMOL on Linux.

Incentive PyMOL

Schrödinger provides pre-compiled (64 bit) PyMOL to paying sponsors. The bundle also includes ready-to-use APBS, RigiMOL, an MPEG encoder for movie export, and a small molecule energy minimization engine.

Download: https://pymol.org/

Open-Source PyMOL in Linux Distros

Many Linux distributions provide binary packages for open-source PyMOL. They often do not provide the latest version, but if the provided package fits your needs this is the most convenient way to install PyMOL.

Command line install examples for some popular distributions (note that all of these commands must be run as root or superuser): 

# Arch/Manjaro
pacman -S pymol

# CentOS with EPEL
rpm -i http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm
yum --enablerepo=epel install pymol

# Debian/Ubuntu/Mint
apt-get install pymol

# Fedora
dnf install pymol

# Gentoo
emerge -av pymol

# openSUSE (12.1 and later)
zypper install pymol

# Sabayon
equo i -av pymol

Install from source

Installation from source gives you the latest version and is the generic way to install PyMOL.

Please also consult the INSTALL file.

Requirements

Libraries as well as development files (headers) of the following software is required:

  • Subversion to download the source code
  • Python (with distutils)
  • Pmw (Python Megawidgets)
  • OpenGL driver (I use NVidia)
  • GLEW
  • GLUT/freeglut (optional, disable with --no-glut)
  • libpng
  • freetype
  • libxml2 (optional, for COLLADA export, disable with --no-libxml)
  • msgpack-c 1.0+ (optional, for fast MMTF loading, new in SVN r4167, disable with --use-msgpackc=no)
  • PyQt5, PyQt4, or PySide (optional, will fall back to Tk interface)
  • simplemmtf (optional, for MMTF export)

On many Linux systems, one of the following commands installs all requirements (and must be run as root): 

# Debian/Ubuntu/Mint
apt-get install subversion build-essential python-dev python-pmw libglew-dev \
  freeglut3-dev libpng-dev libfreetype6-dev libxml2-dev \
  libmsgpack-dev python-pyqt5.qtopengl

# CentOS
yum install subversion gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel python-devel tkinter python-pmw glew-devel \
  freeglut-devel libpng-devel freetype-devel libxml2-devel

# Fedora
dnf install subversion gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel python-devel tkinter python-pmw glew-devel \
  freeglut-devel libpng-devel freetype-devel libxml2-devel

# Gentoo
emerge -av dev-vcs/subversion dev-lang/python dev-python/pmw media-libs/glew \
  media-libs/freeglut media-libs/libpng media-libs/freetype

# openSUSE
zypper install python-devel freeglut-devel gcc-c++ glew-devel libpng-devel python-pmw subversion

# Sabayon
equo i -av dev-vcs/subversion dev-lang/python dev-python/pmw media-libs/glew \
  media-libs/freeglut media-libs/libpng media-libs/freetype

Get latest source from SVN

This will download the latest source to /tmp/pymol: 

cd /tmp
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/pymol/code/trunk/pymol
cd pymol

Libraries in non-standard places

Optional: You may use the colon-delimited $PREFIX_PATH variable to point setup.py to non-standard locations of libraries and headers (those locations should have include and lib directories).

Compile and install

This will install PyMOL as normal user into $HOME/opt/pymol-svn. 

#!/bin/bash -e

prefix=$HOME/opt/pymol-svn
modules=$prefix/modules

# Example for dependencies in non-standard places
# export PREFIX_PATH="$HOME/extra/glew-2.0.0:$HOME/extra/libpng-1.6.5:/opt/local"

# If you want to install as root, then split this line up in "build"
# and "install" and run the "install" with "sudo"
python2.7 setup.py build install \
    --home=$prefix \
    --install-lib=$modules \
    --install-scripts=$prefix

Now launch PyMOL like this: 

$HOME/opt/pymol-svn/pymol

Optionally, in order to allow running the command pymol from the terminal to launch the program do: 

sudo ln -s $HOME/opt/pymol-svn/pymol /usr/bin/pymol

Troubleshooting

  • If you get an error message "ImportError: No module named Pmw" and lack half of the user interface, then append --bundled-pmw to the install command line.
  • If you are using Ubuntu with a NVIDIA graphic card and generic drivers you may experience bad rendering, black pixelation and other graphical oddities. A guide to installing NVIDIA proprietary drivers can be found under Ubuntu community Nvidia Drivers How To
