(this advice is for Linux installations)

FYI, to find out the actual path to chimera, run "which chimera" in a terminal window.  Typically, it will respond with /usr/bin/chimera or /usr/local/bin/chimera, and that is the path you'll use.  That presupposes that chimera is installed on your system by a system administrator.  If the which program responds with "which: no chimera in ...", then you'll need to ask your system administrator or examine the shortcut you use to start chimera.  If you installed a personal copy of chimera, then it will be in your .local directory, ie., ~/.local/UCSF-Chimera64-1.15/bin/chimera.

Hi Sruthi,

Looks like you are on a Linux machine.  If so, the correct path should be /home/students/chimera/bin/chimera (i.e. the path to actual program).  I'm not 100% sure that you need the last "chimera" at the end, though.

Dear all,

I have been using chimera for the past 1 year and recently wanted to club it along with the cytoscape software. But whenever I try to launch chimera through the structureviz app, I get the following message:

Error message: Cannot run program "/home/students/chimera/": error=13, Permission denied

I have changed the settings of structureviz to give the path of chimera which is /home/students/chimera.  Still this error is occurring. Could someone help regarding the same?

Thank you.

Regards,

Sruthi
