Hello everyone, I need avogadro to perform minimization and some other operations on proteins. We installed avogadro on quarry which is a super computer at IU. In quarry we cant see the interface (graphics), we can only work with the scripts and commands. For other softwares like VMD for example

Hello Marcus, the problem we are facing is that we need to run scripts on many molecules and we thought writing a script in python which would loop through all the molecules would really help us but what happened is we installed avogadro on a machine which cant bring up the graphic mode

Hi Divya, OpenBabel became part of your environment when you added the Avogadro SoftEnv key I sent to you. We use PBS (Torque actually) with a Maui Scheduler on top. It is much easier than Big Red's LoadLeveler. You can add -I to your qsub command. When your job starts, you have an interactive
