I would like to install openbable on Ubuntu, but I am having problems.

The Ubuntu version I'm running apparently does not have any package for this application.

How can I install it? I'm new to Ubuntu.

According to Open Babel's site, there are a few nice ways to install.

Snap package

This method works only on Ubuntu 16.04 and later.

  1. Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T

  2. Run the following:

    sudo snap install openbabel

The program can then be run in the terminal with openbabel.obabel or, for other Open Babel commands, openbabel.[command] (replace [command] with the Open Babel command).

Binary package provided by Ubuntu

  1. Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T

  2. Run the following:

    sudo apt-get install openbabel

The program can then be run in the terminal with obabel or other Open Babel commands.
