These instructions are to allow users to build Avogadro from the very latest code. Be aware that Avogadro may fail to build or work properly at any given time when built from the instructions below.
Generally, users should first try the pre-made installers or packages available on the download page made from Avogadro releases.
Developers may want to use the instructions found at Building:Development_Version.
Contents
Linux
Dependencies
- Subversion
- CMake (>=2.4.5)
- Qt4 (>=4.3.0)
- Eigen (latest pre-2.0 from svn)
- OpenBabel (see below)
Building Open Babel
Avogadro makes heavy use of code and features from the Open Babel chemistry toolbox. To ensure you have the latest Open Babel code you should build it from the code repository:
svn co https://openbabel.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openbabel/openbabel/trunk openbabel
cd openbabel
./configure
make
make install # must be run as root or with sudo
Building Avogadro
svn co https://avogadro.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/avogadro/trunk avogadro
cd avogadro
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make install # must be run as root or with sudo
Running
avogadro
OS X
Dependencies
- Subversion
- CMake (>=2.4.5)
- Qt4 (>=4.3.0)
- Eigen (latest pre-2.0 from svn)
- OpenBabel (see below)

svn co https://openbabel.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openbabel/openbabel/trunk openbabel

sudo make install
Building Avogadro
svn co https://avogadro.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/avogadro/trunk avogadro
cd avogadro
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
Running
Avogadro should be in your Applications folder.
Windows
Compiling Avogadro for Windows is complex task and it is recommended that you download the pre-made installer found on the download page. For the adventurous, there are Windows Visual Studio 2005 instructions that may or may not work.
