  • Free java memory if your project involves large molecules or assemblies. Close any java-based programs. Close all browser windows or tabs that contain the Jmol applet. Close the Jmol application.
  • Put Jmol.jar in your working folder: Create a folder (directory) on your computer in which to work. Go to Jmol.Org, select Download (upper right), go to the Jmol Downloads Page, and download the current version as a binary.zip file. Unzip the file (this is automatic on Macs), and copy the file Jmol.jar (one of a large number of files in the zipped download). This is the Jmol application. Paste it into your working folder.
  • Run the Jmol application: Double-click Jmol.jar in your working folder, and a black window will appear titled "Jmol". If the white "Jmol Script Console" window does not appear, use Jmol's File menu (at the top), Console to open it.
