Greetings,

Installation on Debian linux is supported since the recently released Spotfire Node Manager 12.0.
However, it seems that ChemDraw ActiveX, which is required for rendering Lead Discovery in Web Player, can only be installed on Windows.

So, if Node Manager is installed on Debian linux, is it not possible to fully use Lead Discovery functions in Web Player?

Best Regards,

SeongKi Kim.

  Currently, we have ChemDraw Application/ActiveX for Windows and Mac platforms. It is not possible to install/use ChemDraw Application/ActiveX on a Linux environment

  You will find the System Requirement page in the following  FAQ.

  I'm finding that more and more of the software I require is designed to run primarily on Linux and only as an afterthought, if at all, on Windows.

  Thanks to Raja RNA for sharing this helpful article: https://informatics-support.perkinelmer.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408233063572-What-are-the-system-requirements-for-ChemDraw-ChemOffice - geometry dash lite

  It is correct that ChemDraw ActiveX, which is required for rendering Lead Discovery in Web Player, can only be installed on Windows. This means that if Node Manager is installed on a Debian Linux system, it may not be possible to fully use Lead Discovery functions in Web Player.

  However, it is worth noting that Lead Discovery is just one feature of the TIBCO Spotfire platform and there may be other features and functionality that can still be used even if Lead Discovery is not available. It is also possible that there may be alternative solutions or workarounds that could allow you to use Lead Discovery on a Debian Linux system, such as running a virtual machine with a Windows operating system or using a different tool for chemical structure rendering.
