The error you report running ChimeraX on a Chromebook is when it tries to import the standard Python OpenGL module
from OpenGL import GL
That suggests that the problem is that OpenGL is broken or not available on your machine. ChimeraX requires OpenGL graphics to render 3d graphics. So you'll have to fix OpenGL on your machine to get it to work.

Good Evening
I wanted to asked about compatibility and installation issues.
I am currently using a Chromebook with Linux Debian 11 (Bootstrap) and I am trying to get ChimeraX 1.7 installed onto it. I keep coming into errors when I try to run it by the way specified on the site.
For info: " Download is a tarball of the chimerax application directory. Make symbolic link to executable in chimerax/bin/ChimeraX. Do not put on path. It may require additional libraries and/or older versions of libraries to be installed.

I used the Generic Linux download and with all i could look up with and try to figure out with ChatGPT, I get this when I try to run it:

This is as far as i could get
I apologize about the lengthy message, and thank you for any assistance you can give -CJ
