Starting with ChimeraX 1.2.5, the ChimeraX rpms are relocatable rpms. So, using the CentOS 8 rpm as an example, to install it to another location, you would use: sudo rpm -i --prefix /other/location ucsf-chimerax-1.3-1.el8.x86_64.rpm but that only works if all of the dependencies are already installed on your system. You can see all of the dependencies with: rpm -qpR ucsf-chimerax-1.3-1.el8.x86_64.rpm Those dependencies should be installed with sudo dnf/yum. An alternative to using rpm to install ChimeraX (the dependencies still need to be installed with dnf/yum), is to extract the files using rpm2cpio (in a temporary directory): rpm2cpio ucsf-chimerax-1.3-1.el8.x86_64.rpm | cpio -id and mv usr/libexec/UCSF-ChimeraX anywhere you want. And then create a symbolic link to UCSF-ChimeraX/bin/ChimeraX (which is typically "chimerax"). ChimeraX won't be integrated in to the desktop menus, but it will work just fine. Do not put UCSF-ChimeraX on your path. -- Greg On 12/11/2021 2:11 AM, 박시훈 via ChimeraX-users wrote:
Dear chimeraX users, I want to change the installation folder of chimeaX in linux (centos7.0). The default folder is user/bin however, I want to install chemeraX in the other folder because of my computer environments (the Master and Slave nodes do not share the usr/bin folder). Can I know how to change the installation folder?
Best regards Si Hoon Park
