Please refer to the README files for instructions specific to each package. There are however some catches that can complicate the install and thus need to be addressed:

==MOLDEN==
This one should be easy install. follow the instructions in the README file

==MOLEKEL==
*use version 4.3, not the latest 5.3
*see [http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~sp422/fordummies/#molekel this page] for most of the instructions
*Most probably the following will show up: error while loading shared libraries libtiff.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
*More recent flavours of Linux come with the newer libtiff.so.4. and molekel is too stupid to use the newer library
* cd into /usr/lib and create a soft link: ln -s libtiff.so.4 libtiff.so.3
*everything should work after that

==SPARKY==
*unzip to desired location (preferably /usr/local/sparky)
*make a soft link to the executable in /usr/bin
*likely to see this error: bash: /usr/bin/sparky: /bin/csh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
*if that happens install csh using either apt or synaptic

==SPDBV==
*uzip and run ./install.sh
*most likely error message: error while loading shared libraries libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
*if this happens apt-get install libmotif3
