Using PYMOL and PLUGINS. I was browsing through the contents of Chemistry Central and I noticed a new plugin for PyMOL called PocketPicker which helps with the identification and evaluation of surface binding pockets in proteins. Many people will be aware of the Python based molecule viewer PyMOL.The current PyMOL Open-Source Source Code is free, and builds on Linux and Mac OS X / X11, it. The revisions made here are in an attempt to adapt this plugin, which works well with Python 2.7.9 and PrMOL 1.7.x on Linux or Mac for use on Windows. As of 28 March 2015, this version now appears to work reasonably well under both OS X and Windows XP.

This is a quick “how to” post. There is a licensed version of PyMol (MacPyMol) available, but the open source version can be installed on a Mac free of charge. The official page has a guide, which is not terribly detailed, and I found this excellent guide which is unfortunately out-of-date.

Here is an updated guide to installing PyMol using Homebrew on macOS Mojave 10.14.3
