Thank you!  Worked great from the command line.

After downloading the ISOLDE .whl file, it should then start the install process and realise it also needs to download and install Clipper. That should all happen automatically… if it’s not, the “why” is a question for the ChimeraX team, but you can manually install the downloaded .whl by typing “toolshed install “ and then dragging the file from your browser onto the ChimeraX command line to auto-fill the file path.

I’m running version 1.9 (2024-12-11).  When I look at the downloaded .whl file, it seems complete at 86.7 MB.  Once the download is done, is chimera then supposed to install it automatically?

Thanks!

Which version of ChimeraX are you running? Due to a mistake on my part the ISOLDE 1.9 release (meant strictly for ChimeraX 1.9) incorrectly believes it's compatible with newer ChimeraX versions. 

If you are running ChimeraX 1.9, the most likely explanation is probably slow download speed - I've noticed occasionally downloads from the Toolshed server can be quite slow.

I apologize for the dumb question, but here it is.  I want to install the isolde extension.  When I go to more tools, isolde, and click the install button a .whl file downloads correctly.  But then nothing happens.  I’m running OSX 15.3.1.

thanks in advance for any pointers!
