Dear users,

Could someone please help me with installing open source pymol on MacOS? I 
created a plugin, but to allow it to be more easily available to users with 
different OS, I need to include installation instructions for installing open 
source pymol on each. I prepared some installation instructions for creating a 
conda environment that works with Windows and Linux, but am having some issues 
getting the installation to work consistently for the MacOS case. As a note, I 
am not a Mac user myself, and have been trying to troubleshoot remotely with 
the help of colleagues who own Macs.

I need to have the rdkit package usable to pymol, which is why I was creating 
the conda environment. The general conda steps that worked for Windows/Linux 
were to install and activate Anaconda3 
(https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/mac-os/). Next, to open a terminal 
in the Anaconda3 directory named "envs." Then to use the following command to 
create an environment named pymol with the packages necessary:

conda create -n pymol python=3.7 rdkit=2020.03.3.0 matplotlib seaborn pip numpy 
conda-forge::pmw tpeulen::pymol-open-source scikit-learn git

Finally, to activate the environment:

conda activate pymol

The error that is generated for this approach is "ImportError: 
dlopen(/Users/FarFar/anaconda3/envs/pymol/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pymol/_cmd.cpython-37m-darwin.so,
 2): Symbol not found: _glAccum"

I would really appreciate any assistance with installation for Mac cases, or if 
anyone knows of known issues with this. As of now, it seems like using homebrew 
to install open source pymol and rdkit might be the best approach to take, but 
I have not been able to get that working. If there are other strategies for 
installing open source pymol and rdkit I would really appreciate the help.

Thank you,

Justine
