How To Install ghemical on Fedora 36

In this tutorial we learn how to install ghemical in Fedora 36. ghemical is Molecular mechanics and quantum mechanics front end for GNOME

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install ghemical on Fedora 36.

What is ghemical

Ghemical is a computational chemistry application. Ghemical is written in C++. It has a graphical user interface (in fact, a couple of them), and it supports both quantum-mechanics (semi-empirical and ab initio) models and molecular mechanics models (there is an experimental Tripos 5.2-like force field for organic molecules). Also a tool for reduced protein models is included. Geometry optimization, molecular dynamics and a large set of visualization tools are currently available.

We can use yum or dnf to install ghemical on Fedora 36. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install ghemical.

Install ghemical on Fedora 36 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh

After updating yum database, We can install ghemical using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install ghemical

Install ghemical on Fedora 36 Using yum

Update yum database with yum using the following command.

sudo yum makecache --refresh

After updating yum database, We can install ghemical using yum by running the following command:

sudo yum -y install ghemical

How To Uninstall ghemical on Fedora 36

To uninstall only the ghemical package we can use the following command:

sudo dnf remove ghemical
