Re: [PyMOL] [EXTERNAL] How to install APBS on PyMol

[Mooers, B. H.M. (HSC) <Bla...@ou...>]

Hi Luigi ,

Please include the version of PyMOL that you are using.
The APBS Tools are under the "legacy plugins" in the incentive version (2.5.7).
These are absent in the open source PyMOL (2.5.0).

There was a relatively recent change in the Python libraries used to generate
the widgets in PyMOL. You may have gotten an error about a missing Pnw module
when trying to load the plugin with a recent version of the open source PyMOL.
To use the plugin on the Wiki, you try an older version of PyMOL.
Hopefully, someone who is more knowledgeable about plugins will provide a better answer.

Best regards,

Blaine

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [PyMOL] How to install APBS on PyMol

Hello,
I tried to install APBS by launching Plugin manager and giving the URL of the app:

http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/apbsplugin<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/apbsplugin__;!!GNU8KkXDZlD12Q!5OL49CYDTO_Y03Eujw_t8KCDxMhOCpyG5rcuA3v1BiSdj2qbkMPr4ANlxDKnjXAhAEivMy4Avk2qqgNNSdDfhzZCogbMEtzeGog$>

The file has been written in ~/.pymol/startup but I got the error:

Plugin "apbsplugin" has been installed but initialization failed.

How do I properly launch this app? Please note I relaunched PyMol several times.
Thank you.
