Below is the BCVTB release which includes the source code and binary files. The binary files are compiled for Windows.

The BCVTB release includes the binary files that are compiled for Windows. It also contains source code that can be compiled on Mac OS X, Linux and Windows. Compilation is only required for Mac OS X and Linux.

Before using the BCVTB, some environment variables need to be set. If you have Windows and do not want to compile the BCVTB source code, follow the [:InstallationUser:user installation instruction]. Otherwise, follow the [:InstallationDeveloper:developer installation instruction].

To install the BCVTB, proceed as follows:
1. Follow the [[InstallationUser|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 [[InstallationDeveloper|developer installation instruction]].

'''Note for users of Microsoft Internet Explorer:''' Internet Explorer may save the file with the extension {{{.zip}}} instead of {{{.jar}}}. To avoid this, click "Save Target As..." (using the right mouse button) and then enter the name of the installation file, for example, {{{bcvtb-install-0.1.0.jar}}}. (Or use Firefox to avoid this problem.)
