The BCVTB release includes the binary files that are compiled for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

To install the BCVTB, proceed as follows:

  1. Follow the user installation instruction. This is sufficient for most users.

  2. Next, if you like to develop new code for Ptolemy or for the BCVTB interface, follow the 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-win64-1.2.0.jar. (Or use Firefox to avoid this problem.)
