Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to ask what are the system requirements in order to run Chimera and ChimeraX in terms of the RAM and CPU specifications? Thank you.
Regards,

Hello Armin,
This e-mail address is for commercial licensing requests. For questions about using the program(s) we recommend chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu and/or chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu.

I don't have a specific answer for you, but I CC'd chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu on this message so you don't need to do anything else this time.

I only have the following general information:  the download pages say which operating systems are supported for running the programs.  The ChimeraX download page also recommends using a computer <4 years old.

Best,
