NetLogo 2.1 Downloads

Windows

Mac OS X

Other Java-enabled Platforms

Windows Details:

• We strongly recommend the "includes Java VM" download option.
• Choosing this download option installs Sun's 1.4.2 VM for NetLogo's private use only. Other programs on your system are not affected.
• NetLogo runs faster and is more reliable on this VM than any other VM.
• Even if you have downloaded NetLogo before, you should still choose "Includes Java VM". The bundled VM is not shared between different versions of NetLogo.
• You should only choose the "without Java VM" download if either:
  • You have already, separately and independently from any NetLogo download, installed the Sun 1.4.2 VM on your system yourself.
  • You are certain you wish to try using a VM other than our recommended VM.

Mac OS X Details:

• On OS X 10.3, Java 1.4.2 Update 1 is recommended. It is available from Apple via Software Update.
• On OS X 10.2, NetLogo requires Java 1.4.1 Update 1, which is available from Apple via Software Update.

Other Platform Details:

• Be sure you have Java 1.4.1 or later installed. Newer Java versions such as 1.4.2 should work even better. You can download Java from Sun's site.
• The download is in the form of a .tar.gz file. You may untar this file into any directory.
• Once untarred, the NetLogo application is in the NetLogo.jar file in the netlogo-2.1 folder.
• The method for starting the application may be different depending on your operating system and Java virtual machine. You may be able to just double-click the NetLogo.jar file in your file manager. Or, a typical sequence of commands on a Unix-style machine would be:

  cd netlogo-2.1
  java -jar NetLogo.jar

• For the computer HubNet client, substitute HubNet.jar for NetLogo.jar.
