<p>Just a reminder that changing the permissions, on an
application's files, is considered a security risk on Windows. If
you are the only user of the computer, then it would be okay.</p>
<p>An alternate, cross-platform solution would be to copy the
AutoDockTools directory to a directory you control, make the
modification, and then set the CHIMERAPATH environment variable to
that directory. CHIMERAPATH is just like PYTHONPATH but only for
Chimera. That way, Chimera will find your version instead of it's
built-in version.</p>
<p>On Windows, setting your environment variables is tricky. <a

See How to change environment variables on Windows 10</a>. But
create a User variable, not a System one.<br>

Hi Tram,
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>You'll
have to change the file/folder permissions for that file and/or

<div class="">My name is Tram Danh, a student researcher
under the Radiology Department at UCI. I have
encountered problems as I tried to run AutoDock Vina
for a structure with At (Astatine). The system said
that the atom At was not assigned or recognized. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I was told by an AutoDock member that At
was not in the database so I would need to derive the
parameter for At myself. I followed instructions,
downloaded the default parameter file, and added At
into that file. My current problem is that I am unable
to save it in the "<b class="">C:\Program
Files\Chimera
1.14\bin\Lib\site-packages\AutoDockTools</b>"
without administrator's permission. I've attached the
picture below for your reference.</div>

<div class="">Thank you for your assistance! I hope to
hear from you soon!</div>
