It's important to use "apt" instead of "dpkg" to install ChimeraX. "apt" is needed to install the dependencies. The problem with: sudo apt install ucsf-chimerax_1.5ubuntu20.04_amd64.deb is that there is no / in the name, so "apt" thinks it is a package name instead of a file name. Change it to: sudo apt install ./ucsf-chimerax_1.5ubuntu20.04_amd64.deb Or if it is in your Downloads directory, use the example on the ChimeraX download page: sudo apt install ~/Downloads/ucsf-chimerax_1.5ubuntu20.04_amd64.deb HTH, Greg On 4/12/2023 5:20 AM, Rudy Richardson via ChimeraX-users wrote:
I think you would need to issue the following command:
sudo dpkg -i ucsf-chimerax_1.5ubuntu20.04_amd64.deb

I am running an up-to-date installation of Debian Bullseye on my Linux platform.
My attempt to install ucsf-chimerax_1.5ubuntu20.04_amd64.deb generated an interesting error message:
sudo apt install ucsf-chimerax_1.5ubuntu20.04_amd64.deb [sudo] password for comp: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package ucsf-chimerax_1.5ubuntu20.04_amd64.deb
I have managed to install Chimera, both Linux and Windows versions, many times without any problems.
Guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
