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 and Mac OS X
Dependencies
At least Subversion, Git, CMake and Qt4 might be available through your distribution's repositories.
Installing Eigen
cd $HOME/svn
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/kdesupport/eigen2
cd eigen2
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make install # must be run as root or with sudo
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
git clone git://github.com/cryos/avogadro.git
cd avogadro
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make install # must be run as root or with sudo
Running
avogadro
On Mac OS X 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.
