[chimerax-users] ProblemI am attempting he installation of ChmimeraX Installing ChimeraX on Debian mv-10

[Greg Couch]

Hi Stephen,


Unfortunately, your version of Linux is not supported by ChimeraX.  
However, Ubuntu 18.04 is based on Debian 10, so there's a chance that 
the deb file for Ubuntu 18.04 will work.  I apologize for the deb file 
names being the same for every Ubuntu version, I will look into fixing 
that.  So please go back to the website and get the deb file for Ubuntu 
18.04, and try installing it.
