Hi Stephen, Unfortunately, your version of Linux is not supported by ChimeraX. However, Ubuntu 18.04 is based on Debian 10, so there's a chance that the deb file for Ubuntu 18.04 will work. I apologize for the deb file names being the same for every Ubuntu version, I will look into fixing that. So please go back to the website and get the deb file for Ubuntu 18.04, and try installing it. -- Greg On 10/9/2021 5:26 AM, Stephen P. Molnar via ChimeraX-users wrote:
Thanks for your reply.
Here's what happened:
comp@AbNormal:~/Downloads/ChimeraX$ sudo apt-get install ./ucsf-chimerax_1.2.5-1_amd64.deb [sudo] password for comp: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree������ Reading state information... Done Note, selecting 'ucsf-chimerax' instead of './ucsf-chimerax_1.2.5-1_amd64.deb' Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: �ucsf-chimerax : Depends: libgfortran3 but it is not installable ���������������� Depends: libllvm3.8 but it is not installable ���������������� Depends: libssl1.0.0 but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. comp@AbNormal:~/Downloads/ChimeraX$
Synaptic didn't find any broken packages. Although I've been using Linux since the Red Hat Mother's Day distribution, I am strictly an Organic Chemist. not a computer person.

If you're installing a locally downloaded package with apt-get, you need to provide the path to the file (even if it's in your current working directory), i.e.:
sudo apt-get install ./ucsf-chimerax_1.2.5-1_amd64.deb
