While the source code of Chimera is available (<a href="https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/sourcecode.html" class="">https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/sourcecode.html</a>) I do not think it is practical to compile. Chimera depends on dozens of third party packages which it compiles. I'd say it would take you a month full time if you are highly experienced at porting complex software to IBM Power9. Also Chimera is an interactive visualization program used on laptop / desktop computers. It is hard to make that software work well on a server using remote display.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> A last point is we stopped developing Chimera more than 5 years ago and it has been replaced by ChimeraX. ChimeraX is easier to compile, but it depends on about 100 third-party libraries, so building it on IBM Power9 would be a huge undertaking.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> So I recommend ChimeraX on a laptop or desktop as the best interactive visualization option.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Tom<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jun 13, 2022, at 11:07 AM, Haleh Shahbazi via Chimera-dev <<a href="mailto:chimera-dev@cgl.ucsf.edu" class="">chimera-dev@cgl.ucsf.edu</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta charset="UTF-8" class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt;" class="">Hello Chimera Developer Team,<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt;" class="">I am Haleh, a PhD student at University of Toronto.
