| =Manual Setup= | | == Features == |
| In the PyMOL menu naviagte to '''Plugins''' > '''Plugin Manager''' <br>
| |
| Here you can manually add directories or scripts that will be loaded upon startup.
| |
| | |
| | |
| =Scripted setup during PyMOL launching= | |
| ===Creating run_on_startup.py===
| |
| '''run_on_startup.py''' can easily be created using a text editor such as notepad.<br>
| |
| | |
| The '''run_on_startup.py''' is handled similar to [[Pymolrc|pymolrc]] files and is executed every time PyMOL launches.<br>
| |
| An important distinction is that '''run_on_startup.py''' is executed before the [[Pymolrc|pymolrc]] files and is purely written in python.<br>
| |
| The recommended location of '''run_on_startup.py''' is the PyMOL home directory (PYMOL_PATH, e.g. something like 'C:\Program Files \PyMOL\').<br>
| |
| An advantage is that should PyMOL be installed on a computer with several users, this will be run for all users, while the pymolrc files can be individual (e.g. in the USER directory).
| |
| | |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="python">
| |
| #this can be copy-pasted to create run_on_startup.py in the home directory

| # Add paths to sys.path so PyMOL can find modules and scripts

| import sys
| |
| import os
| |

| pymol_git = os.path.realpath(os.path.join(os.environ['PYMOL_PATH'], 'Pymol-script-repo'))

| | |
| #THIS IS WHERE THE PATH IS ADDED TO INITIALIZE PLUGINS USING THE PLUGIN MANAGER

| If you are running an older PyMOL without '''Plugin Manager''' you can either upgrade to the newest version or load plugins the traditional way. <br>

Since version 1.5.0.5 PyMOL comes with a Plugin Manager, which can be used to load plugins such as those in the PyMOL Script Repo.
- Install/Uninstall plugins
- Disable plugins and load them on demand to optimize PyMOL's startup time
- Configure the plugin search path
Appending additional paths to the Plugin Manager
[edit]Should your scripts be located in several alternative locations, it is possible to append additional directories to the Plugin Manager.
- Plugin > Plugin Manager > Settings > Add new directory...
