Please, could you specify which installer did yus use?

In your home directory should be a chemaxon (on windows or .chemaxon on Linux or Mac) folder, wher should be a file called: marvin.mytemplates , whit this content: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><cml version="ChemAxon file format v5.10.0, generated by vunknown">


</cml>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><cml version="ChemAxon file format v5.10.0, generated by vunknown">

Hi,

I am using a Macbook.  I followed these instructions to put Marvin Sketch on my computer:

"The student should go to the following website: www.ChemAxon.com />


When the window opens they should go to:



<download><Marvin><Marvin for endusers & Java developers> and download ver. 5.11.5



The downloaded file should be marvinbeans-5.11.5-macros.dmg which, when opened should install the newest version of Marvin."

I am not sure what or where a "home directory" is.  Please bear with me.

Home directory:

 /Users/USERNAME/.chemaxon  ( where USERNAME is your name/nickname)

Can you see something similar on your Mackbook?

Is that something I see inside a certain program?  Or is this something on my Mac that has nothing to do with the program?  I don't know what sequence of things to click with my mouse in order to get to the home directory.

I am not  a Mac user but this might be help:

Please let me know wether you find it or not.

Additional info:

for the marvin.mytemplates please see the following forum as well:

https://www.chemaxon.com/forum/viewpost46662.html&highlight=marvin+mytemplates#46662

I tried the zip offered in the other thread.

I can't find any file named marvin.mytemplates.

thanks anyway.

That was posted by me, and I sent another file by  mistake, but please, use this file:

Hi,

I downloaded it.  Double clicked on the download.  Then tried to open Marvin Sketch.

same error.  no improvement.

carlrexh

Did you uncompress this file, and copied the conent of it to the .chemaxon folder in your home folder? (You wrote, that you have doubleclicked on the file, but you haven't wrote, that you have copied it to the above specified location.)

I don't know how to 'uncompress' it.  That is not an option when I right click the desk top icon of the zip file.

I can't find the folder in the first place so I haven't copied anything to that folder.

carlrexh

I hope, this will help:

first, you should download the file

Than, you can open it with the little magnifying icon:

than you can see it between downloads:

than you have to start a terminal: (Applications/Utilities/Terminal)

now you have 2 possible solutions

1.: Write this to terminal, than press enter: cp Downloads/marvin.mytemplates .chemaxon/

2.:

Type this to terminal, and press enter: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

than write this to terminal, and press enter: killall Finder

than open finder, and go to downloads, right-click on marvin.mytemplate, and select Copy "marvin.mytemplates"

than go to .chemaxon folder, and right-click, and select Paste Item

I hope, now everything runs smoothly. Please find us with any further question.
