Chimera Download issue

To whom it may concern, My name is Zachary Maldonado and I am a college student at the University of Missouri-Columbia. I need this program for one of my classes I am taking this semester. I can not seem to open the program and when I try to open it, I get a message from my computer saying that I need to update the application before I can open it. My computer says it is unable to search for "malicious software". If you could assist me that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Sincerely, Zachary Maldonado

Hi Zachary, Apple has imposed some new security requirements on apps that are somewhat difficult to comply with. We are working on getting Chimera in compliance, but until we manage that the workaround is to right-click (or control-left click) on the Chimera app icon. That will bring up a menu with "Open" as its first entry. Click "Open" and Chimera will start. After that you should be able to start Chimera normally with no popup menu shenanigans. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab
