If the chromebook has a USB port, and if the laptop can be booted using an external drive, you could boot the laptop with a Linux operating system and the educational version of PyMOL installed on a USB stick.
Or you could just pay the $269/year for the Laboratory & Classroom subscription, which would take you less time and hassle. Diana ************************************************** Diana R.

Today I found out that at least one has a chromebook and can’t install Pymol. I gather that these chrome thingies are becoming more and more popular with students, so I’m wondering if someone out there already come up with a good solution – either an easy way to install pymol, or an alternative undergraduate-user-friendly, free macromolecular graphic program that will work for chromebook users.
