Thus, to use current versions of PyMOL on Windows, you must either sponsor the project in order to access precompiled executables or create, maintain, and support your own port for Windows, preferably via Cygwin. While Windows compilation is of course possible and allowed, it is defined as “beyond scope” for the open-source project. Microsoft Windows, as a proprietary closed-source operating system, is not a supported compilation environment for Open-Source PyMOL. Regarding Compilation under Microsoft Windows PyMOL also has over 100,000 active users with community-sponsored support available on the popular PyMOLWiki and pymol-users email list.Information about how to compile the PyMOL from the open source code can be found on the PyMOL Wiki. For those who prefer to learn from an expert instead, classroom-style training is available worldwide. The PyMOL support team offers technical support, printed tutorials, and screencasts for commercial users. First Class Support, First Class Community Users can quickly and easily create movies that fly through a molecular landscape, elegantly depict protein structure morphing, and animate ensembles and trajectories. PyMOL's straightforward graphical user interface allows first-time and expert users alike to create stunning 3D visualizations from their favorite file formats. Create 3D Images and Movies with EaseĬomplex visualization tasks that previously required expert knowledge now only require a few mouse clicks. Affirming its high-regard among scientists, PyMOL-generated images have graced countless covers of top-tier journals. With AxPyMOL users can insert fully interactive molecular data into their presentations making it easy to share results and concepts that a simple 2D figure cannot. To help scientists from different disciplines seamlessly work together, PyMOL interprets over 30 different file formats and its own format is supported on Windows, Mac, Linux, and iPad.
