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/) 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.
$ flatpak --user install ChimeraX-1.8.flatpak error: The application edu.ucsf.rbvi.ChimeraX/x86_64/master requires the runtime org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/23.08 which was not found
