Chimera Install Instructions

These instructions assume you have downloaded and installed Chimera and the LifeScienceWeb clients. You should place the decompressed "lswclients" folder in the directory in which you will leave it. Chimera depends on this directory not moving. If you move it, you must follow these install instructions again.

1. Open Chimera.

2. Open "Favorites->Preferences..." from the main menu as seen in Figure 1.
