I've managed to install pymol on windows following the instructions here and using the file Pmw‑2.0.1‑py2‑none‑any.whl from here

Various folders have appeared in C:\Users\Python27\Lib\site-packages (Pmw and Pmw-2.0.1.dist-info). However, I can't actually work out how to run pymol.

It used to be provided as a .exe format which could just be run in the usual way for windows applications. The folders that have installed just contain lots of python scripts, but I can't find anything which actually launches the programme.

That's probably not the official way but it works :)

  • Download both the appropriate pymol and pymol-launcher file.
  • Install pymol via pip
  • change file extention of pymol-launcher to .zip (or unzip it straight)
  • get pymol.exe and make sure to have either pymol##.dll (## is your version number) in your path or in the same directory

Did it work for you?

I took another approach. NOTE! I am using Anaconda2 (python 2.7.13) under Windows 8.1

  1. First download the appropriate files from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pymol

Pmw-2.0.1-py2-none-any.whl

pymol-1.8.6.1-cp27-cp27m-win_am d64.whl

pymol_launcher-1.0-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

  1. Start Command Prompt (Admin) via right-click on windows start button and navigate to your python installation directory
  2. Enter the following lines (adapt to your installation of python)

C:\Users\David\Anaconda2>Scripts\pip.exe install Pmw-2.0.1-py2-none-any.whl

C:\Users\David\Anaconda2>Scripts\pip.exe install pymol-1.8.6.1-cp27-cp27m-win_am d64.whl

C:\Users\David\Anaconda2>Scripts\pip.exe install pymol_launcher-1.0-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

Now just launch pymol via pymol.exe that was created in the same directory.
