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://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo then do:
flatpak install --user ChimeraX.flatpak I'll rework the instructions to make that more obvious.

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
