Below is the BCVTB release which includes the source code and binary files. The binary files are compiled for Windows. For details see [:InstallationUser: installation instruction]. If you wish to compile the files yourself, see [:DeveloperRequirements: developer requirements]. |
To install the BCVTB, proceed as follows: 1. Follow the [[http://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/bcvtb/releases/latest/doc/manual/installation.xhtml|user installation instruction]]. This is sufficient for most users. 1. Next, if you like to develop new code for Ptolemy or for the BCVTB interface, follow the [[http://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/bcvtb/releases/latest/doc/manual/development.xhtml|developer installation instruction]]. |

For the !EnergyPlus client, the official version of !EnergyPlus 5.0 can be used. !EnergyPlus needs to be downloaded from http://www.energyplus.gov 1. The example files have been updated for !EnergyPlus 5.0. 1. All configurations settings are now in the file [[http://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/bcvtb/releases/latest/doc/manual/settingEnvironmentVariables.xhtml|systemVariables-*.properties]]. 1. The files {{{bin/setenv.sh}}} and {{{bin/setenv.bat}}} have been renamed to {{{bin/setDevelopmentEnvironment.sh}}} and {{{bin/setDevelopmentEnvironment.sh}}}. These files have been changed so that they get all environment variables from the file {{{bin/systemVariables-*.properties}}}. This avoids duplicate entry of system variables. 1. The Apache Ant build system is now distributed with the BCVTB installation. It will be installed in bcvtb/apache-ant. Existing installations of Apache Ant will not be affected by the BCVTB. 1. The expat library is included for Windows and Linux.
