Setting Up Access to PyMOL on Linux

Both Maestro and Canvas can open PyMOL directly. To do so, PyMOL must be installed and the location communicated to the application.

Canvas requires the PyMOL location to be in the PATH environment variable. Maestro uses the following sources to find an installation of PyMOL, in the order given:

1. The PYMOL4MAESTRO environment variable, if it points to an executable file.
2. A script named pymol4maestro or pymol, in any of the following directories: $PYMOL4MAESTRO, $SCHRODINGER, $SCHRODINGER/pymol, $PYMOL_PATH
3. A script named pymol4maestro or pymol, in $SCHRODINGER/../pymol
4. pymol in $PATH
