Hi Greg,
[...]
My motivation is, that I'd like to install Chimera in a non-interactive way (batchscript) in a non-standard location. Is there a way to achieve that?
On Linux, the chimera installer is a self-extracting zip file, so the options you see are the options unzipsfx accepts -- do "man unzipsfx" for more details.
How silly of me. I should have noticed that from the '--help' output.
For batch installing, you'll need to give the installer an answer to the one question it asks by redirecting standard input to be from a pipe or a file. For example:
chmod +x ./chimera-1.2540-linux.exe echo /usr/local/chimera | ./chimera-1.2540-linux.exe
Great. That does the job perfectly. frank -- Frank Thommen - Structures IT Management and Support - EMBL Heidelberg frank.thommen@embl-heidelberg.de - +49 6221 387 8353
