[Chimera-users] problem with SwissSidechain plugin installation

[Thomas Evangelidis]

Hi Elaine,

After private communication with the developer (David Gfeller) we figured
out the problem. I was selecting the SwissSidechain folder in Preference ->
tools instead of the directory containing the SwissSidechain folder.
Namely, under Locations I had "SwissSidechain - /home/thomas/Programs"
instead of "Programs - /home/thomas".

best,
Thomas
