## Introduction

Avogadro is an advanced molecular editor designed for cross-platform use in

computational chemistry, molecular modeling, bioinformatics, materials science,

and related areas. It offers flexible rendering and a powerful plugin

architecture.

Core features and goals of the Avogadro project include:

* Open source distributed under the liberal 3-clause BSD license

* Cross platform with builds on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows

* Intuitive interface designed to be useful to whole community

* Fast and efficient embracing the latest technologies

* Extensible, making extensive use of a plugin architecture

* Flexible supporting a range of chemical data formats and packages

The code in this repository is a rewrite of Avogadro with source

code split across a

[libraries repository](https://github.com/openchemistry/avogadrolibs)

and an [application repository](https://github.com/openchemistry/avogadroapp).

The new code architecture provides a high-performance rendering engine, modern

code development, and significantly improved speed and stability.

Avogadro 2 is being developed as part of the [Open Chemistry][OpenChemistry]

project by an open community, and was started at [Kitware][Kitware] as

an open source community project. The Avogadro 1.x series currently has more

features, and can be found [here][Avogadro1]. We are actively porting more

features to the Avogadro 2 code base, and making regular releases to get

feedback from the community.

We are actively working to finish Avogadro 2.0 in 2022.

## Installing

We provide nightly binaries built by GitHub actions for:

* [Linux AppImage](https://nightly.link/OpenChemistry/avogadrolibs/workflows/build_cmake/master/Avogadro2.AppImage.zip)

* [MacOS](https://nightly.link/OpenChemistry/avogadrolibs/workflows/build_cmake/master/macOS.dmg.zip)

* [Windows 64-bit](https://nightly.link/OpenChemistry/avogadrolibs/workflows/build_cmake/master/Win64.exe.zip)

If you would like to build from source we recommend that you

follow our [building Open Chemistry][Build] guide that will take care of

building most dependencies.

## Contributing

We welcome *all* kinds of contributions as a community project, from bug

reports, feature suggestions, language translations, Python plugins,

and C++ code development.

Our project uses the standard GitHub pull request process for code review

and integration. Please check our [contribution][Contribution] guide for more

details on developing and contributing to the project. The [GitHub issue

tracker](https://github.com/openchemistry/avogadrolibs/issues/)

can be used to report bugs, make feature requests, etc. Our API is

[documented online][API] with updated documentation generated nightly.
