We are very pleased to announce the release of the NeuARt II system as an installation package. As with any commercial software, download the package, double-click on the installer and the system guide you through the process of installing NeuARt II. This system should be considered an early (and therefore potentially somewhat fragile) production release.

Note that all downloads are hosted by SourceForge and are therefore anonymous. This means that official reviewers of our work can download and run the software without compromising their anonymity.

The system is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Users without MySQL pre-installed on their machine will either need to download the binary with MySQL bundled or download MySQL separately.

The JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is required in order to run NeuARt II. Currently NeuARt II is tested under JRE 1.4 and may not function properly under JRE 1.5. Users without JRE pre-installed on their machine will either need to download the binary version with JRE bundled or download JRE separately. Users with JRE 1.5 are recommended to download the binary version with JRE bundled.

Windows

• NeuARt v1.4     (If having problems, download from local site)
• NeuARt v1.4 with MySQL bundled
• NeuARt v1.4 with JRE bundled
• NeuARt v1.4 with MySQL and JRE bundled

Mac OS X

• NeuARt v1.4     (If having problems, download from local site)

note: after extensive testing, we have found that attempting to bundle MySQL with our MacOSX installation package did not work. For Tiger, and Panther systems, use the following link to download a compatible version of MySQL:

• MySQL 4.1.14 for Darwin 7.9.0    (Instructions)

These packages can be installed in the usual way for any application. Users are advised to go through a 'typical' install for MySQL and to remember the root password, since that is what you will be using to initialize NeuARt II when you run it for the first time.

Linux

• NeuARt v1.4 RPM package     (If having problems, download from local site)
• NeuARt v1.4 Binary

Note: Due to the great amount of MySQL servers are available for different Linux machines, please use the following link to download the version for your machine:

• MySQL 4.1 for Linux

Demonstration Package

• Lateral Septum Data (Windows / Mac OS X) presented by L.W. Swanson Laboratory
  (If having problems, download from local site [Windows] / [Max OS X])

Instruction

• How to import a published atlas into NeuARt II
• How to install the demo package 'Lateral Septum Data'

Documentation

• NeuARt II's Developer's Manual

We are aware that there is a great need for documentation and a users manual, which we will be furnishing in the immediate future.
