## Troubleshooting

### Installation error: missing biotite module

In some Linux systems, trying to install `Molecular Nodes` through the `Get Extensions` panel in Blender may lead to the following error:

```bash
Report: Error
No module named 'biotite.structure.bonds'
```
This is likely due to a mismatch in the Python versions installed in your system and in what Blender expects (see issue [#629](https://github.com/BradyAJohnston/MolecularNodes/issues/629)).

To avoid this issue, try installing Blender through a self-contained package system such as Flatpack or Snap. These package managers usually need to be installed and/or activated in your system.

For example, after installing Snap in Fedora 40, you can install Blender through Snap with the command which solves the `biotite` dependency error.

```bash
sudo snap install blender --classic
```
