GLEAMviz Simulator Client v5

Setting up the GLEAMviz Simulator v5 Client

The GLEAMviz Simulator is a desktop application, meaning that in order to use it you will need to install the application on your computer. The software is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

To install the client, download the application installer for your operating system:

Windows: GLEAMviz-5.1-windows-installer.exe

Mac OSX: GLEAMviz-5.1-osx-installer.app.zip

Linux 64 bit: GLEAMviz-5.1-linux-x64-installer.run

Linux 32 bit: GLEAMviz-5.1-linux-installer.run

then run the installer and the GLEAMviz Simulator will be ready to use in a while. (Linux users might have to set the executable permission on the installer file and/or run it from the terminal, depending on the OS distribution configuration).

Please note that according to your security settings you might need to explicitly allow the execution of the installer.

Manual

You can download the application manuals at the following link:

To learn more on how to get started: watch a ten minute tutorial on how to set up your first simulation and get a first introduction on the things you can do with GLEAMviz. The tutorial illustrates the basic operations needed to create a compartmental model, define the initial conditions of the simulation, manage the simulation files and visualize the results. Operations concerned with the export of data and setup configurations are also briefly covered. Note that this tutorial uses an older version of the software, with a slightly different user interface.

Previous version of the software

To install the former release of the GLEAMviz Simulator client (version 4.2) on a Mac or Windows desktop you first need to install the latest Adobe AIR runtime, and then run the GLEAMviz installer.

On a Linux desktop (64 bit) you first need to install the Adobe AIR v2 runtime, and then run the GLEAMviz for Linux installer.

Please note that this version is not being developed anymore and will be dismissed in the next future.
