It is this page: https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/download.html (screenshot attached). I am using Flatpak 1.12.9 on Rocky Linux VERSION 9.4 (Blue Onyx). Thanks for the hints for NICE DCV. I have no write access to "/etc/dcv/dcv-gl.conf". I will try to find more local users for this environment and then try to escalate the installation or this issue to the admin people.

Which web page has the typo in it? I'm only finding 'flatpak run ChimeraX'. Also, for 'flatpak run' you shouldn't need the --user option. In Flatpak 1.10, it is documented to look in the per-user and system locations, so it should find the user version first. Which version of flatpak are you using and on which version of Linux?
And for the record, we do not support NICE EnginFrame Views Views. We expect ChimeraX to run directly on the computer with the graphics card. But Georg Kempf reported a workaround for NICE DCV in https://mail.cgl.ucsf.edu/mailman/archives/list/chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu/... <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://mail.cgl.ucsf.edu/mailman/archives/list/...>. Perhaps a similar fix will work for you?

Hi Greg,
Thanks very much! Following the instructions, I did get ChimeraX installed. (This might be a global setting for flatpak that I am not aware of. I am a first-time user of Flatpak.)
On the website, there is the following command for running.
flatpak run edu.ucsf.rbvi.Chimerax
The last character should be capitalized in my case. And I need to add "--user" for non-sudo.
======= The part below might go beyond your support. But if you do have some hints, please kindly let me know. After I corrected the naming, I still got errors, and the graphics did not look correct (attached). I was running the command in a NICE EnginFrame Views ( https://www.ni-sp.com/products/enginframe-views/ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.ni-sp.com/products/enginframe-views/...>) environment.

As noted in the flatpak instructions, you need to configure the per-user flathub repository first. That way the correct runtime will be installed when installing ChimeraX. So do:
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo_... then do:
flatpak install --user ChimeraX.flatpak I'll rework the instructions to make that more obvious.
HTH,
Greg

Dear ChimeraX Team,
The install notes for all the current distributions for the Linx system require sudo. I wonder is it possible without sudo?
On Rocky Linux VERSION 9.4 (Blue Onyx), I tried the following.
