To save images in nogui mode, you need to start up ChimeraX with the --offscreen flag. However, that code isn't working right now, so I've filed a bug report on your behalf.

Hi all,
I was wondering if there is a way how to generate images from linux terminal. I’ve come across a couple of very old posts in the mailing list stating that this was not possible at that time. So, I wonder if anything has changed.
If I use cif files only, chimerax gives “Unable to render images to save them” message. If I try to include volumetric data from cryo-EM overlaid on the structure I get an exception during opening a *.map file. Please see the script below. The exception is in the attachment
