- Windows: download the Windows binary (static build) from the SourceForge page.
- Linux: there are several options as follows:
- Pre-built packages (currently for openSUSE 11.4-12.2, Ubuntu 11.04-12.10, Fedora 16 & 17)
can be found at the Open Build Service at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/lineinthesand/
- Download the source code as .tar.bz2 from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qmol/files/ or
- check out the source code from the git repository at SourceForge with
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/qmol/code qmol-code
from the command line.
qmol requires cmake and Qt4 devel packages for compilation
(build-time) and Qt4 libraries at run-time. Use your distribution's
package manager to install the required packages (usually called 'cmake'
and 'libqt4-devel' or 'libqt4-dev').
Compiling qmol is very easy. The following should do it:
Change to the root of the source directory (e.g. cd qmol-)
% mkdir build
% cd build
% cmake ..
% make
% sudo make install
Should you run into any problems, please open a ticket or make a posting into the Discussion forum on qmol's SourceForge page.
Linux
