I'm a student of chemistry and I'd like a piece of software to visualise molecules. I've heard of 'jmol', but I can't get it installed.
I've downloaded Jmol-12.1.16-full.tar.gz, what do I need to do with it?
Thank you,
Philippe

Jmol requires Java 1.4+, so make sure you have an Java Runtime.
sudo apt-get install default-jre
Now we need to extract the Jmol archive you downloaded.
The instructions are, (go to the folder you downloaded):
tar -xvzf Jmol-12.1.16-full.tar.gz
cd jmol-12.1.16/
chmod +x
./jmol.sh
To make it easier (make a shortcut) and put the location of the jmol.sh
file.
If you go to Jmol's wiki, there is a section entitled "Installing Jmol" with instructions.
