====== Installation of Pymol 1.2r3pre ======

===== Additional libraries =====

Many...

===== Procedure =====

Still again, the dilemma: package vs source code... Pymol has lots of dependencies which make compiling quite a work. However, it is popular enough in the community that a quite recent Ubuntu package exists. To install Pymol the Impilo way, I did the following:

  * Install the program via ''apt-get'':
<code bash>
% sudo apt-get -y install pymol
</code>

  * By default, it install the application in the Science menu (the freedesktop.org way). Because I want it in the Impilo menu, I have to edit the ''/usr/share/applications/pymol.desktop'' file to add a line at the very end of the file:
<code bash>
NoDisplay=True
</code>

  * You can now add Pymol in the Impilo menu by editing the Xfce4 configuration file:
<code>
% sudo xfce4-menueditor /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml
</code>

  * The three things to add are :
    * Item: Launcher
    * Name: Pymol
    * Command: pymol
