installation of openbable

Question

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.

There is a simple command to install package in ubuntu is sudo apt-get install <packagename>. Did you try something like sudp apt-get install openbable? — d a i s y, Dec 12 '16 at 09:41
The package index says it's available for all current releases: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=openbabel — muru, Dec 12 '16 at 09:50

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.

Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T
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

Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T
Run the following:
```
sudo apt-get install openbabel
```

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