Windows is the one I know pretty well, and that should work for the most part. > > For Linux, after compiling avogadro, you can type "make package" and it will > create several packages (including a shell script) that can be used to get > avogadro on your system.

We never invested any time in getting Linux packaging to work, so I would be surprised if it worked.

In Avogadro 2 I got this working within the build system, and if you turn the flags on it will ensure obabel et al are packaged.
