Requirements

Either version of PyMOL 2.x or 3.x are supported.

In order to correctly display the plug-in, the library PyQt5 must be installed. Its availability varies between sources of PyMOL:

  • Incentive PyMOL: PyQt5 is already installed, no action required.
  • Open-source PyMOL: Usually installed by pip, but can be ensured to be installed by the command python -m pip install pyqt5 --user

Installation instructions

PyViewDock is designed to be easily installable.

  1. Open PyMOL and use it's plugin manager: Plugin > Plugin Manager > Install New Plugin
  2. Paste this URL to the latest release: https://github.com/unizar-flav/PyViewDock/releases/latest/download/PyViewDock.zip
  3. Restart PyMOL (although it should not be necessary)

Alternatively, in the step 2, a zip file obtained from the releases section can be provided.

For developers: clone the repository and it to the search path at Plugin Manager > Settings

Update

To update to a newer version, simply follow the same steps described above to install the plug-in. The new version will overwrite the existing one.
