[Chimera-users] Error in using chimera with structureviz2 and cytoscape

[Greg Couch]

(this advice is for Linux installations)

FYI, to find out the actual path to chimera, run "which chimera" in a 
terminal window.  Typically, it will respond with /usr/bin/chimera or 
/usr/local/bin/chimera, and that is the path you'll use.  That 
presupposes that chimera is installed on your system by a system 
administrator.  If the which program responds with "which: no chimera in 
...", then you'll need to ask your system administrator or examine the 
shortcut you use to start chimera.  If you installed a personal copy of 
chimera, then it will be in your .local directory, ie., 
~/.local/UCSF-Chimera64-1.15/bin/chimera.

     HTH,

     Greg
