Avogadro

Avogadro is an advanced molecular editor designed for cross-platform use in computational chemistry, molecular modeling, education, bioinformatics, materials science, and related areas. It offers flexible rendering and a powerful plugin architecture. Avogadro's codebase is split across a libraries repository and an application repository. The new code architecture provides a high-performance rendering engine, modern code development, and significantly improved speed and stability. We also maintain a beta Flatpak for Linux that is updated with the lastest changes every week or two. For full releases and an overview of all available ways to obtain Avogadro see the [overview][Install] on the Avogadro website. Binaries and the source code for each release can be found on the GitHub releases page. If you would like to build from source we recommend that you follow our [build guide][Build]. We welcome all kinds of contributions as a community project, from bug reports, feature suggestions, language translations, Python plugins, and C++ code development.
