This is valid up to some Jmol version 14.x; for later versions, see Files_Description

For Jmol versions previous to 13.2, see Files_Description/Jmol_12

The Jmol distribution is available for download as 3 different files:

jmol-x.x.x-binary.zip contains all files needed for using Jmol, compressed using the zip format.
jmol-x.x.x-binary.tar.gz contains the same files, in a tar structure and compressed using the gzip format.
jmol-x.x.x-full.tar.gz contains the full source code. This will only be useful to developers and programmers wanting to study Jmol programming design or to modify Jmol.

Following is a description of the files contained in any of the first two downloadable files.

Batch and shell files

These can be used to start Jmol application from a command line and, particularly, to impose a certain combination of parameters (see command line options).

jmol

???? (Some kind of batch file)

jmol.bat

A batch file to start Jmol application under Windows.

jmol.mac

??? (Some kind of batch file)

jmol.sh

A shell script to start Jmol application under Unix-like systems, like Linux, BSD, Solaris and Cygwin for Windows.

Under Linux, there are a number of ways to start Jmol as a standalone program using the jmol.sh script:
(1)

sh jmol.sh                      // start Jmol under the jmol-xxx folder 
sh yourpath/jmol-xxx/jmol.sh    // start Jmol from anywhere

(2)

chmod +x jmol.sh                // make the jmol.sh script executable 
jmol.sh                         // start Jmol inside the jmol-xxx directory, or  
yourpath/jmol-xxx/jmol.sh       // start Jmol anywhere

(3)

chmod +x jmol.sh                // make the jmol.sh script executable  
ln -s yourpath/jmol-xxx/jmol.sh /usr/local/bin/jmol.sh //create a symbolic link under /usr/local/bin

Add the following shell variable in the shell script $HOME/.bash_profile

export JMOL_HOME="/yourpath/jmol-xxx/"

Reboot your computer or execute

source $HOME/.bash_profile

Then

jmol.sh                          // start Jmol anywhere

(4) Move the jmol-xxx folder to /usr/bin/ or /usr/local/bin/

chmod +x jmol.sh                  // make the jmol.sh script executable 
ln -s /usr/bin/jmol-xxx/jmol.sh /usr/bin/jmol.sh          // or
ln -s /usr/bin/jmol-xxx/jmol.sh /usr/local/bin/jmol.sh    // or
ln -s /usr/local/bin/jmol-xxx/jmol.sh /usr/bin/jmol.sh    //or
ln -s /usr/local/bin/jmol-xxx/jmol.sh /usr/local/bin/jmol.sh
jmol.sh                          // start Jmol from anywhere

Files of Jmol application

This is used as a standalone program.

Jmol.jar

The application executable file (a program written in Java). This works as any other program: opens in its own window, can be resized or minimized, admits drag-and-drop of files over it, has a top menu bar, can open and save files, etc. It can be open from the command line (particulary, using the shell or batch files described above), but if Java is properly configured in your system, it's usually enough to double-click on the file (see Starting Jmol Application for more details).

JmolData.jar

This is a slimmed down version of Jmol.jar that lacks all visualization capabilities. So, it betrays the whole (classic) concept of what Jmol is, but with JmolData and some clever scripting you can get just about any information you want out of a model and output it any way you want.

It operates only from the command line, designed for extracting data from a model or set of models. You are limited to commands that don't have to do with visualization: there are bonds but no "sticks", atoms but no "dots", helices but no "cartoons".

JmolLib.jar

This is a library, meant to make Jmol a module or part of a bigger project, that is, to integrate Jmol viewer inside another software.

Files of the Jmol object

jsmol.zip

This file includes in compressed form all the files for using J(S)mol inside web pages, such as:

Applet files (for the Java modality of Jmol object)
Javascript libraries (for the definition of the Jmol object in all cases, and specifically for the HTML5 modality of Jmol object)

For details on the files contained, their purpose and how to use them, please see Jmol_JavaScript_Object#Installation

+=== JmolLib.jar ===
-== Files of Jmol applet ==
+This is a library, meant to make Jmol a module or part of a bigger project, that is, to integrate Jmol viewer inside another software.
-This is used inside web pages.
-=== Jmol.js ===
-The library, written in JavaScript language, that assists in the programming of web pages that use Jmol applet, without the need to know and write detailed JmolApplet code.
-This library uses by default the split version of the applet (unsigned or signed).
-Fully documented at http://jmol.org/jslibrary/
-=== JmolApplet0.jar, JmolApplet0''(severalSuffixes)''.jar ===
-The applet, i.e. a version of the program that will only run when embedded in a web page.
-The applet is divided up into several pieces according to their
-function, so that if a page does not require a component, that
-component is not downloaded from the server.
-It is still recommended that you put all JmolApplet0*.jar
-files on your server even if your page does not use the capabilities
-provided by some of the files, because the pop-up menu and Jmol console
-both allow users to access parts of Jmol you might not have considered.
-This split version is the one that will be used by default if you use {{File|Jmol.js}} (which is the recommended method).
-For that, use the simplest form of jmolInitialize(), just
-indicating the directory or folder containing the set of jar files:
- jmolInitialize("directory-containing-jar-files")
-for example,
- jmolInitialize(".")  // jar files are in the same folder as the web page
- jmolInitialize("../jmol") // jar files are in a parallel folder, named 'jmol'.
-=== JmolAppletSigned0.jar, JmolAppletSigned0''(severalSuffixes)''.jar ===
-An equivalent version of the applet, but this is a "signed" applet (a term in Java security language). This means it must be authorized by the web page visitor for it to run, but then it will have less security restrictions for file access. For example, it can access files on any part of the user's hard disk or from any other web server.
-Typically users get a message asking if they want to accept the
-"certificate" or if they "trust" the applet (''see notes below'').
-JmolAppletSigned.jar should be used with this in mind. Other than reading
-files, Jmol does not currently use other capabilities of signed
-applets, such as accessing the system clipboard or writing files. Use only
-if you know what you are doing and have considered the security issues.
-To use this with Jmol.js, use the form:
- jmolInitialize("directory-containing-jar-files", true)
-or
- jmolInitialize("directory-containing-jar-files", "JmolAppletSigned0.jar")
-:''Notes:''
-* The security feature requesting to trust the applet may not always be enabled on users' systems.
-* The message requesting permission will be displayed for '''each''' of the 14 (or more) loadable files.
-* The user may have the option to trust the applet permanently and so avoid having to give permission every time (s)he visits a page that uses Jmol.
-=== JmolApplet.jar ===
-This is an all-in-one or monolithic file, kept mainly for compatibility with old pages that call it explicitly.
-This single file is equivalent to the whole set of {{File|JmolApplet0*.jar}} files, explained above.
-The recommended procedure is not to use this monolithic file, but the split version ({{File|JmolApplet0.jar}} etc.). In particular, {{File|Jmol.js}} uses the split version by default.
-You may wish to use this if you want to keep your website simple or you just want to upload a single jar file whenever new versions are released.
-However, this will load Jmol slower than the split versions (described above), as all the modules (adding up to 2 MB), needed or not, must get loaded onto a user's machine before any structure is displayed.
-To invoke JmolApplet.jar from Jmol.js, either:
-a) put it in the directory containing the HTML page requiring it and
-do not use jmolInitialize(),
-or
-b) identify it explicitly in jmolInitialize(), for example:
- jmolInitialize("directory-containing-jar-files", "JmolApplet.jar")
-=== JmolAppletSigned.jar ===
-An equivalent version of the monolithic applet, but this is a "signed" applet (a term in Java security language). This means it must be authorized by the web page visitor for it to run, but then it will have less security restrictions for file access. For example, it can access files on any part of the user's hard disk or from any other web server.
-Typically users get a message asking if they want to accept the
-"certificate" or if they "trust" the applet, but this security feature is not always enabled.
-JmolAppletSigned.jar should be used with this in mind. Other than reading
-files, Jmol does not currently utilize other capabilities of signed
-applets, such as accessing the System clipboard or writing files. Use only
-if you know what you are doing and have considered the security issues.
-To invoke JmolAppletSigned.jar from Jmol.js, use:
- jmolInitialize("directory-containing-jar-files", "JmolAppletSigned.jar")
-=== JmolSmilesApplet.jar ===
-''This is currently not included in the distribution, but may be obtained from the development site.''
-This is a lightweight applet, with no visible interface, that allows
-to check SMILES strings. This is particularly useful for comparison of stereochemistry, for example from structures drawn using the [[File_formats/Coordinates#JME|JME applet]].
-The same functionality is included in the regular JmolApplet.
-<br>
-== Files specific to older versions ==
-Versions before Jmol 11.1.30 had a different setup for the split applet files:
-=== JmolApplet0.jar, JmolApplet1.jar, ... JmolApplet6.jar, JmolApplet_i18n.jar ===
-The applet divided up into several pieces, hopefully for faster loading. The set of these files is equivalent to the single {{File|JmolApplet.jar}}. This split version is used by default by {{File|Jmol.js}}.
-{{File|JmolApplet_i18n.jar}} is the localization module of the applet (i.e., translation of the interface into several languages).
-This must accompany the {{File|JmolApplet#.jar}} set if you want the interface in a language different from English. (The language shown will depend on the operating system's language.)
-=== JmolAppletSigned0.jar, JmolAppletSigned1.jar, ... JmolAppletSigned6.jar, JmolAppletSigned_i18n.jar ===
-The signed version of the above split applet. (See JmolAppletSigned0.jar above for description of what a "signed" applet is.)

+* Applet files (for the Java modality of Jmol object)
